Hi im new here. My name is Wayne. I am from PA. I have owned jeep g. cherokees for 20 plus years. My currant one is an 05 limited withe the hemi engine. About 6 months ago i put in a new alternator & battery. The other week the radio, all the indicator lights would flash on & off & also the heated seats wouldnt work. Now just today late in the day i tried to start it & nothing happened. All the dash indicator lights came on & thats it. Anyone have any ideas ? Thank you

I would begin by refreshing the battery cables and posts.

Ok here is what i did. I cleaned the battery post & cable ends. Still nothing. So i jumped start it & got it running. I know when it came to the older stuff you could pull the neg. battery cable off & if it died the alternator was bad. Im not to sure if that works with this new stuff but anyways i pulled the neg. cable off & it died. The alternator is about a year old. So i called napa & they told me that my alternator has a life time warranty. I got a new one & put it in. So fare every thing seams fine except for the engine light came back on. Thats been on for awhile now. One last question- The passenger air bag light is on saying thats its off. Is there a way for me to turn it back on or do i have to take it to a dealership ? Its been on ever since i bought it. Thank you

Neutral safety switch. Try starting it in neutral

What is the trouble code triggered by the engine light?
Your Jeep is trying to tell you something and you're not paying attention.

Took it to the guy who does my inspections. He told me it was the starter. He put a new one in & no problems since well so fare No i just have to find out why my engine keeps coming on.
