I was headed into NYC early last week to meet some friends in the 200 Cherokee (4.0/AW4). I pulled into the parking garage, turned off the Cherokee and got out to talk to the attendant. I gave time the keys and he got in to park it and....nothing. No click, no fuel pump....nothing.
I got in and the interior light would come on, but the secound you tried to start it everything would go dead. Ditto if you turn on the headlights.
I checked the fuses, wiggled everything...still nothing. Any time a large electrical load came online everything would shut down.
I ended up calling a tow truck and the next day spoke with the garage owner. Turned out to be a simultaneous failure of the battrey and alternator (both of which looked to be original parts)
Soo....600 bucks later I'm cruising down the road thinking this was to simple ( aside from being rooked) I had zero symptoms before this...no eratic guages, nothing. Anyone have a similar problem?
