Thanks.

Can you bypass the security system on a 2000 cherokee sport. I switched ECM and now it starts and dies after 3 seconds.

The problem was the ECM. I switched it out but I think the security system is causing it to start and run for 3 seconds and dies. Is there a way to hot wire it or bypass the security system? It's strictly a trail toy.

Would that be the dark green wire on the plug? Or the green/orange wire?

If the voltage regulator is bad inside the ECM and your alternator is good can you put an external regulator on in instead of replacing the ECM?

Testing at the battery with volt meter engine off is 11.5 - 12 volts. Doesn't change at all when engine is running. I'll try more testing grounds. I assume the battery will go dead. I haven't let it run very long. Trying to get it going by this weekend. Thanks again for the advice.

I had the alternator checked and it was fine. After you start it about 20 seconds later volt guage drops to 0 and "check guage" light comes on.

I'm going to take it off and have it checked out. Does this seem like an ECM problem to you?

It starts and runs fine. No miss or anything. Everything works but the alternator. That's why I was asking. I didn't know if it would charge if I did it.

Thanks. I will check that out. Can you put that "excite" wire on a separate keyed power source? It is strictly off road use only jeep.

Can someone tell me which green wire on the back of the alternator does what? I have 12 volts at the large wire from battery but nothing on the small plug with green wires. I thought one of them should be hot with the key on. Thanks!

I don't have pay pal. If I can't find one close to me I'll figure something out to get it. Thanks.

I'm new to this "forum stuff". It took me 3 hrs to get my comment on here yesterday! Lol. I don't know how to look up other people or groups. Tim, how do I go about getting the money to you?
