Default Jeep Totally Dead

My Jeep Cherokee was running fine. I shut it off; it is totally dead. We took the battery to Autozone and it's not the battery; it's fully charged. We replaced the battery (same battery, of course)...the Jeep started...I have a bad feeling about this. Any thoughts??

Most likely just a loose connection on the battery terminals, or a possible bad ground

Thanks for the feedback. So you think that reconnecting the battery possibly fixed the problem. I was wondering if this could be an electrical problem, alternator, or starter.

I wouldn't think so.
If you clean the terminals up of any possible corrosion and make sure they are on tight, that most likely should solve your problems!
And welcome to the forum
