On my way to prom last week my Jeep decided it didn't want to go. I'm driving down the road, no problems, everything's normal, when all of a sudden everything dies. The tachometer goes to zero, the speedometer goes to zero, the AC turns off, the radio turns off, no power steering. Literally everything shuts off. Well about 5 seconds later everything electrical turns back on but it won't start. It cranks, but won't actually start.
I pull over and look under the hood and the ground wire to the battery was disconnected. I fixed that and it started, but then died again within 100 feet.
Waited a few minutes and it starts again, only to die once more.
Long story short, my Jeep is still doing this. It will start and have no problems idling but when I start driving after just a little bit it'll die. When it dies everything shuts off, then come back on, crank, but won't start.
My dad and I have checked most of the connections and cleaned them up to no avail.
I have no idea what the problem is. Does anybody have a clue what it could be, or where to start? I need my Jeep back!
A few weeks back the "part time" light would come on seemingly randomly. Like I'd just be driving down the road in 2WD and it would come on. I don't know if that helps, but otherwise it hasn't been acting weird...
Thanks in advance, guys.
