Battery AMP
 
87 Comanche 4x4 4.0 ax15

The amp reading is low, so i replaced the battery and it still reads low? Could it be a short somewhere or an alternator? Cant figure it out. Thanks CF

Whats the reading when its running and not running?

i meant the volt gauge on instrument cluster. Sorry been working none stop these past couple weeks, and i havent driven my jeep in a month.

Likely a bad alt.

Easy enough to test the alternator.

Of my Tips, how many have you completed?

zebvance 04-27-2016 10:39 AM
