low voltage issue on my '91 solved --

[erics_bruisers]

-- my '91 was having all sorts of strains when the electrical system was challenged -- eg, putting the window up while closing the sunroof all while the lights were on --

-- Landtank Rick suggested new positive and ground cables to the battery -- I did the ground myself (after I watched Rick do it), and the positive was a mess, linking to the starter, I think, so I had the stealer do it while I had my truck looked at for a recall (which Toy didn't honor, BTW) --

-- anyway, problem SOLVED -- everything's great -- no more odd dimming and crapping out of the Sirius and the like --

THANKS RICK!

Eric,

Can you please describe how you did the negative cable? What kind of cable did you use? How you soldered the cable ..... tips and techniques.

I went with OEM -- the first one lasted 190K, so I splurged for this one -- went from the (-) and pigtailed out to the sheet-metal and to the engine --

Glad to hear it Eric. I hate suggesting such expensive repairs on a hunch but felt I could take you if you came at me pissed .

So anything come from those two we met at the bar, Loud and Obnoxious?

Im trying to replace my negative battery cable but the bolt to the engine block is proving to be a booger. I decided to quit before I stripped it and will take it to a friends house who has better tools.... air powered.

I had mine custom made at Wrangler Northwest Power Products. Cheaper than OEM and much more beef. Probably could have made the same thing with some welding cable but I dont have time to run around looking for a place.
