I left something plugged into the lighter overnight that I should have disconnected when I parked my '00 Limited yesterday evening... a few beers later, and I forgot to go back out & unplug it. So this morning, I go out to head to work, but my remote unlock isn't working - I immediately realized why, but the batteries in the key still worked, so I was able to open the door :spin1:. Turned the key in the ignition, but, of course, no juice. Luckily, the wife hadn't left yet, so I had her pull up & help me jump the Jeep. It turned over fine, but didn't start. I tried a few times, but no dice. Didn't have time to screw with it this morning, so I closed it up & took the other car.
This isn't the first time I've killed or nearly killed the battery (Optima Yellow Top), but this is the first time I've ever had a problem starting it after restoring power to it. It's charging all day while I'm at work, so I'll see if it starts when I get home, but is there anything that could disable fuel or spark when the battery is killed while still letting me turn it over when power is restored (via jumper)?
