Hey everyone!

Been quite a while since I've been on here. Had my 99XJ in storage for the past 3 years while life got in the way.

Anyway, been working on her the last few months. Hadn't started her in a few weeks up here in Maine and the cold got to her. Went out to start her this morning (it was like 4 degrees) and she clicked a few times (as I figured she would) so I went and got the charger/jumper. Gauge read 60% so I set it to 2amp slow charge and figured a couple hours would be good. A couple hours later I go back and she tries to turn over for a second, makes a couple clicks and then nothing. Absolutely nothing. No interior lights, no gauges, no nothing. So Im guessing a popped a fuse or two.

I can weld panels, set the timing, change a head gasket, etc., but when it comes to electrical, I don't have a clue so any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

if you are getting nothing then I would check and clean the cables at the battery

Check the battery voltage. I'm guessing like 5 volts. If the battery is toast a couple hours on 2 amps will do nothing.
what happens when you jump it with another vehicle?

Clean the posts, too. Not just the cable ends.

Posts and cables are totally clean. Attached to my car and trying to jump it there is absolutely nothing. No dome lights, no gauges, nothing. Something definitely blew. Battery is 1 year old and was running great a few weeks back.
