I have a 1995 Jeep grand Cherokee.
I have got the battery tested, alternator, both good. I have redid all of the connection on the battyer, starter, alternator, and body and engine ground.
The neg battery had a little dust in it but I do not think that is the problem.
With the neg cable off the battery I tested the draw with a multimeter and it read 8.70 amps.
I started disconnecting the fuses in my fuse block under the hood, and when I pulled the 50 amp fuse block fuse the amps started dropping to about 7.80 and then started leveling off. Then when I take the multimeter off and reconnect it, the amps are back to 8.70.
The same thing happens with the I.O.D. 20 amp fuse.
My alternator gauge started reading about 12 amps about 3 weeks ago.
My car started dying about 2 weeks ago.
My ABS light on the dash came on about 2 weeks ago.
My alternator is pushing out about 14 amps at the battery.
If I turn my car off after driving for 30 minutes it wont start back up right after.
If I charge my battery all the way up it will last for like 5 hours with a couple of starts.
Please help me, I can not figure it out. I will greatly appreciate it
What should my next steps be?
What are those fuses to?
Thanks
