Bad voltage regulator
It is under the rear of the alternator.
$340 for the alternator for a Jeep Liberty with a $70 labor charge. 250 miles from home, I had no other options and they knew it...
check your fuses if they are good the voltage regulator is in the pcm eng computer
the alternator is on top of the engine start by takin off the fan belt and then removing the wires conected to the alternator finally unbold the bolts holding it on and then take it off
The voltage regulator is faulty.
The regulator is part of the engine computer on a 1996 Jeep. It is not in the alternator.
maybe you need a new alternator
Weak battery or alternator output.
A loose / slipping alternator belt, or the alternator itself is gone bad.
Bad Alternator and have your battery checked for bad cells
=== === Some types of electrical shorts do cause the battery to discharge. But usually a bad alternator just does not charge the battery. Or does not put a large enough charge back into the battery. This causes the battery to discharge when you start and run the motor. The spark plugs and other things need electricity that would usually come from the alternator is now coming from your battery. If your bad alternator is not recharging the new battery, the battery will soon fail to start or run your vehicle. You need to have your alternator tested. It should be putting out at least 12 volts, usually around 13 to 15 volts.
All 1998 Jeep vehicles have an airbag.
