Battery drain 2001 xj
Symptoms:
battery gauge says there is no power
Gas gauge is not accurate
All lights dim when I stop
Radio turns off sometimes
Jeep shuts off when power goes out
Would not start untill jeep sat for a few minutes not using power. (like it was charge back up?)
Story:
Few days ago:
everything fine driving down the road and I notice the battery gauge is showing no power.
Nothing seemed wrong just thought I needed a new gauge.
Today:
driving back home and like normal the battery gauge is at 0
I've noticed the windows go rather slow when they are going up and the lights are dim.
Then the jeep started to lose power so I gave it gas it started bogging and the gauges went wild. Next it just powers down and stalls.
There was no power and it wouldnt start.
I waited a few minutes and the starter begun to click.
Few more minutes of not using power
I hear the starter click and it almost turns over.
Well I waited a few more and it started.
I still dont understand. It uses power driving but when it's off and no power it charges up.???
