So today it was nice out and I decided to give the jeep a bath. Evyerhting went normal. Pressure wash undercarriage, outside, and select engine parts (oil pan etc...). Well I finshed it up and took it for a drive. The belt had a slight chirp when I first started driving, but it went away after a few minutes. Ok nothing abnormal. Then things started going bad. My voltmeter slowly climbed to around 16 volts, and then suddenly pegged at 19 and my check gages light came on. WTF? I pulled over and turned it off, restart, same thing. It would go to 16 for a few seconds then jump back to 19. I thought my electrical system was going to fry?!? So then I decided to keep driving to my destination, a few miles up the road. I had no phone on me, so no choice basically. Then the tranny started acting up. Torque converter locking and unlock, lots of bucking, and it shifted around 3000-3200 rpms. Anybody have any kind of clue as to what in the hell is going on? I've never seen anything like this. And I've done much more severe car washes when it was sloshed with mud, so I don't know if its the water or not. Please help me out!
