I bought my Jeep in May of 07 and have already had tons of problems. The ECM and the PCM have already been replaced. Along with the stock battery. About a month ago, I went out to go somewhere and my battery was dead. I didn't think anything of it. I charged my battery fully. The next time I drove it my charging system light came on. I pulled in to an Advance auto and had them check the battery and alternator. The battery tested fine but the alternator was suspect. Without really much research on it, I bought a new alternator(from the dealer because I couldn't find one anywhere else). I charged my battery to full once again and installed the new alternator. My charging system light was still on so I drove it to get it checked again. The alternator was not putting out any voltage. Now what?! Is it possibly the computer not telling the alternator to charge the battery? I really am clueless when it comes to this.

Luckily I have a backup vehicle. But my Jeep is my baby.


Any suggestions? or Thoughts?


Thanks!

Casey
