So I have a 96 XJ, we just put a 2000 motor in... Ran great for a while until I noticed no battery charge while running... My first thought is alternator, tested bad and we replaced it. New alternator, charged battery.... crank it, runs at 12.5volts still. Turn it off and try cranking it back up, it won't do anything... seemed like ignition switch then crapped out. We bypass switch and turn the starter over to verify starter solenoid, works fine... This has been on and off for a while... and only code I am getting is 12 55, saying battery has been disconnected. I can't figure this out and its getting frustrating. I have cleaned grounds and posts tightened all bolts... no difference. I will say we found a short in a wire that was grounding out/smoking, we fixed that before all this but there is no telling how long it was grounding out for... Would that have killed my PCM, voltage regulator is controlled in PCM correct?
