Ok so i have a '99 Cherokee 4.0 Automatic. I havent had this vehicle too long so not much is known about how it has been maintained by previous owners. My issue started after i installed HD Offroad no lift shackle relocation brackets. Nothing wrong with their product i may have had the cut off disc bite and then cut the trailer wire harness (whoops). so anyways i spliced all the wires back together and thought no harm done. all lights turn signals etc work just fine. nothing weird going on. so i drive it to work the next morning about half way to work my check gauges light comes on and my voltage meter is read 9 but vehicle is running with no problems so i get to work shut it down and then turned it back on to make sure it would start. it does start ( maybe a little slow or maybe im paranoid now) and when it starts volts go up to maybe 10-12? its like half way between 9 and 14. i turned it back off then go out to start it after work volts are reading that 10-12 area then a mile down the road drop back down to 9. i get home i turn it back on to make sure itll start and it does. volts back to that 10-12 area. it has been doing this since monday morning and has not failed to start or anything one time since. im short on money so i dont reallly want to go replacing the altenator if its not it or going to get a battery if thats not it either. im pretty good with a wrench and eletrical just dont know where to start on this one. Thanks in advance guys im new to this form but heard its the place to be for XJ's.
