After a small underwater adventure in the jeep I need to cut out the carpet this weekend. Can anyone think of any wires underneath the carpet anywhere? I have a 99 sport.

My advice to you is don't just hack at the carpet, start at the back removing the trim and pull it up. Cut away excess as you go. You don't need to remove ALL of the trim, just enough to get started. This would be the plastic bridge by the hatch.

Yes, there's a ground wire at the front of the passenger seat, wire to the parking brake handle, a harness for the airbag control module under the driver's seat, and wiring for the evap or fuel pump that lives right under the rear driver's seat.

Check gauges light shows up.
The Battery gauge is maxed out (19+). I put XJ in neutral and turn ignition to off and then back on. The gauge reads normal. Also, when I play my after market radio for 10 min. or longer (while driving), the radio loses power and turns off/on. Could this be early signs of a faulty alternator?
Thanks
