Hi, I have an 87 XJ and i'm having a hell of a time diagnosing my problem. It all started when i was on my way home from work. I was getting off the highway and my autometer voltmeter started acting up. I thought it was the alternator because the headlights were dimming and the volts were dropping. So i shut my radio off in order to save my battery. After a few more seconds the volts dropped more and the headlights dimmed more. At this point i was almost off the highway. Seconds later my voltmeter dropped to zero and the jeep shut off. I had no power to anything. It has been like that for about 2 weeks and i cannot find out the problem. I have replaced the ignition switch which gave no results. The courtesy (sp) lights work as do the hazards. I probed the plugs and only one gets power (.69 volts). I am completely lost on this and i'm seriously considering putting a switch in to give power to everything and then a push-button starter. UGH! Any help would be appreciated.
