So i have a 2000 TJ 2.5L and the other day when i went to start it up it wouldn't start. ended up having to have a buddy jump it, yet it wouldn't start right away when being jumped. once it started the check gauge light came on and the battery gauge was reading past 19. so i replaced both the alternator and the battery. now there is no power at all, when i open the door the dome light won't even turn on. when i turn the key doesn't even make a sounds or turn anything on. no when i connect the battery up to another car thats running like i was going to jump it. it'll turn on all the lights in my jeep, like it should be able to without being connected but it doesn't. it tried to start while connected to the other car but won't. its just a very slow crank and then it just beeps like the battery is dead. all i can think of is maybe a short somewhere, but no clue on where to start looking. anyone else every have this issue? or any ideas on what to look at or check out? i don't have a volt reader but I'm planning on trying to borrow someones. any help would be great thanks!
