My 1990 XJ AW4 4.0 shut off randomly again. It lost all power, except for the key-in-ignition-door-open buzzer. The radio wouldn't come on, and it would not crank. Completely dead.
I have no idea if this really matters, but I opened the hood and messed around with the wires in the power dist. box. I pretty much just pushed on them, and tried starting again. Started fine, and didn't shut off on my way home from work. Any ideas as what this could be? Battery cables and grounds are fine.
CPS was replaced less than 2 weeks ago, although if that was the culprit, it would be cranking and the accessories would have power, just no spark, correct?
Any ideas? At least the Jeep was nice enough to kill itself as I was parking on my return from lunch.
Edit: Upon further inspection of the power distrubition box, I have found at least two wires that are still "in tact", but the shielding has corroded away, and their connections are very flimsy and poor. Does anybody know what each of the wires that plug in to the PDB do? Not the ones that are held in place by a bolt and nut, but the ones that are right below them. There are 3 or 4 of them.
Thanks
