Help My Jeep Died!

[LadyKay]

Up Date:

Got the jeep started. Then when I closed the door I notice one of the dome lights in the back was left on. My daughter and I had to load her suitcase into the back set on Tuesday, and when we did; the suitcase hit the top where the light was. I am guessing it hit it just right to turn it on and I didn't notice it. So that means that that dome light was left on from Tue. to Friday. I did not notice it because when I open the doors, all the inside lights stay on for about 2 minutes after you close to doors. Then when it died,I had no way of knowing because none of the lights were working. Then it only came on after it was charged.  I feel goofy now. 

So I will check it tomorrow see if it still starts and hopefully that was what was wrong. If not, then we start over.

Okay, sounds like we can all go home and eat dinner with our loved ones. Great news, Kay. Bye bye

if you have a autozone nearby you can remove the battery and drive it down there and they will charge and test the battery for free. I think O'reillys and some napas will to. I know you got it started...but just in case for future reference.

I do too.  We can change the name to Jeep trials and she can keep us posted on its antics.

ROFL!      Okay so this is an older Jeep. It is a 1997. So stuff does go wrong from time to time on it. The next thing I am going to be doing with it is installing new headlights.  The old ones which came with it are not as good anymore. So much so that I hate driving at night. So my husband bought me some new headlights to put in. Oh and I need to glue the  rear view mirror back on. It keeps falling off.   Like I said, it is older. 

But I love it. It can go through snow clear up to its bumper! And since it is older I don't care too much if it gets a nick here and there. It has a dent and a red paint make on it where my husband slid into it with his car in our driveway a few winters ago.  And a piece of the grille is missing because he hit a deer with it.

Lol is it strange that when I think of "older" I'm thinking 70s or 80s lol
