98 xj 4.0 5 speed etc. having issues with the electrical system, I think. Not heavily modded, aftermarket jvc stereo, 2 amps and 2 12" subs, as well as aftermarket speakers front and rear.
When I turn the blower motor on (which needs fan speed resistor, so it runs on 4 only) the radio briefly powers down and the headlights flicker. I thought the alternator could have gone bad and I had a 136 amp waiting to be installed so I did that last night. No difference other than the volt guage seems a bit more happy. Checked fuses quickly (it's butt cold here) nothing seems blown but I plan on looking more next time I have it in the bosses heated garage as well as check/clean the grounds. Anything else I should be checking? Searched a bit and nothing came up. Any advice is greatly appreciated and I will try to check this as frequently as possible to give any other information you may need.
