Alternator???
1994 Cherokee 4.0. My engine check light is now coming on. The check light code is flashing code #41. Says the alternator (?) is not switching proplerly. Now on my way home from work the last two nights my battery light is coming on. My battery is pretty new. It's still starting alright and my lights are not dim. My question - should I assume that my alternator needs replaced or is there some other things that I should also look at like a relay or something???? Thoughts? Thank you.

The alternator chages thru 2 fuses. If these go out you will not get any charging. Check the fuses in the PDC. You can also use a volt meter to check the alternator to see if it is charging.
Taking it to an auto shop as recommended, will also deternine if the alternator is charging.
