It's been a while since I've been on here, especially since I sold my XJ about six years ago. Miss you guys!
This problem has to do with my room mate's XJ. I tried searching the forum for similar symptoms, but couldn't find any commonality or related models.
The heep: 97 XJ 4.0 Auto 4wd 160,xxx ABS stock and not wheeled
The problem: Starting earlier this year while driving check gauges came on and noticed the voltage meter was reading 0. Weird.. ok so we replace the alternator and charge the battery.. everything good.
About a week later same thing.. dead battery and dead alternator.
For good measure we go with a tested alternator under warranty from advance and go ahead and buy a new battery, just to make sure dead cells or a bad battery wasn't the culprit.
Fast forward at least 5 months.. same issues.
Got the alternator tested and it's putting out below 11v.
Other possible related problems: ABS light is on.
After searching google for a bit, I found on an infinity J30 forum that this person was having the same problem and it was actually due to a bad ABS relay draining the battery.
Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated!
