I have a '98 XJ, 4.0, auto. with an odd electrical issue. Jeep will not crank, and at first I thought the battery was dead. Tried to jump it...nothing. So, when I turn the key, gauges perk up...then when I turn it more to start, gauges all die out. Also, when I turn the key, hit the brake pedal...gauges die. It's very intermittent that gauges perk up too, sometimes you have to try it a couple of times. A couple of times when gauges come up, without touching anything, the key-in ignition alarm sounds on and off rapidly as gauges flip on and off.
I don't even know where to start as I'm pretty much an electrical troubleshooting dummy on vehicles. I would very much appreciate a nudge in the right direction. Thank you.
