Hey guys and gals.
I just got back to town yesterday after a few months overseas. While i was gone the battery went dead. Dad went and put a new battery in it, but hooked up the cables wrong. He said he did crank it twice with the cables on wrong. (yeah i know they are 2 diff sizes oh well)
The jeep is a 91 xj.
Some of my accessory fuses were blow (CB radio etc.) i replaced them.
So I put a new battery in it, starts and runs fine. But the volt meter on the dash is showing roughly 10 volts. I put a new alternator in it, and the problem is still there. I checked the fuse behind the battery where the relays are (60 amp) for the alternator it didn't pop and still has voltage running through it.
I just checked the ends of the wires from the alternator to the battery, and didn't notice any fusible link, but haven't opened up the wire bundles to check and see if there are any in-line.
The readout on the dash shows it at 10 volts still.
I did a search for fusible link, but all the ones listed with my type of problem are all older non HO engines. So I'm assuming that mine doesn't have a fusible link due to it having the 60 amp fuse..... But thought id ask and see if anyone knows.
So any ideas of what i should check next?
Anyone know if there is a fusible link on a 91? If so where?
Thanks in advance for the help.
