Haha, that's how I am with my Jeep. I'm just afraid one day I'm gonna pat her with pride and her window or door is gonna fall off.

so im lost
doesnt happen everytime more like when it wants to but its happened 3 times since thursday and idk what it is.
i go to start the jeep and turn the key and i get nothing. no power at all not even the starter click with a dead battery just nothing at all.
battery is just a few months over a year old the alternator i replaced in august and i havent touched the starter but untill now iv never had any issue with the jeep not starting
should i change the starter??
or is this another wild jeep wiring ghost??

A bad starter wouldnt cause no power like that. Get it running put a dmm on the battery + and - if its not around 14.5 volts its the alt. You also may have a parasitic drain some where

Even if the starter is seized there will still be power on key on engine off. It's not a starter issue. Sounds like a parasitic drain do you have to jump start it to get it started?

sorry i ment not test the starter
its a stick so when its died i just bump start it
and it starts and drives fine then after
it hasnt done it now for 2 days so idk what it is. my door speakers arent plugged in and my cb isnt plugged in either. maybe the fuse i was using for my cb was a constant power and was draining it??
i blew the passanger speaker so its unplugged so i can replace it
