Default No Power a little kick and now power

I start my jeep tonight. It ran alittle wierd but I just figured it was ok. By wierd I mean the lights were kinda like flickery. So, I drive it anyway. When I arrived at the store and turned off the key the headlights died too. I check and no power. I check all connections everything is tight. First thing I think is I need a jump. White the jumpers connected nothing. I have no power at all still. Im sitting there stumped. I call a friend to come pick us up and I get the jeep tomorrow b/c its getting late. While we are sitting there I am telling my wife how I just can't think of anything. Well, as a joke I said just kick the computer down there on your kick plate. She hits it twice and the jeep fires right up. I could not stop laughing. She was all mad anyway b/c she hate riding in my dirty jeep. Anyway I figured I would share my story. I dont know what it is but its something back there.

Wow. My Jeep stereo used to be like that. Had to hit it with a mallet to get it to switch from tape to radio because the tape player didnt work.

I got one of those random things too. When i have the air on the fabric above my head hangs down low, but when i turn the heat on the fabric looks as if nothin was ever wrong.
