The simple answer is - your battery is getting old ! Batteries don't last forever - over time they lose their ability to retain a charge. The symptoms you're describing is that the electrical system is asking for more power than the battery is able to provide.

Your alternator is bad.


Why don't the left side running lights work on my 2000 Cherokee sport?

If the right side lights are working and all left side lights are out, its as simple as this: Electricity is not reaching the bulbs. Use a volt meter (with the lights on) and check a bulb socket. if there's around 12 volts registering on the meter, then you have power to the light socket and the bulb(s) is/are bad. If there is no power to the socket, that sucks because now you have a wiring issue to chase down. This should be a relatively simple repair as long as u have a volt meter.


How to use a volt meter to measure electrical voltage accurately?

To measure electrical voltage accurately using a volt meter, first ensure the meter is set to the appropriate voltage range. Connect the red probe to the positive terminal and the black probe to the negative terminal of the circuit. Read the voltage displayed on the meter and record the measurement.

How do you test 220 volts using a volt meter?

Make sure that the test meter is on the correct voltage scale. Place one lead on one of the conductors to be tested and the other lead on the other voltage source conductor. The reading you obtain will be the voltage potential between the two conductors.


What is the problem if the receptacle has 120V on a volt meter but when you plug in a light in the socket the volt meter drops to 25V?

--- Answer --- Most likely the plug is connected wrong, instead of the connecting to the power lines it was connected in series with some lights with 3 times the wattage. When using the meter it will read the potential voltage which is the line voltage of 115 volts but when you plug in the a light, now you completed the circuit adding this light to the other light/s. The reason you get 25 volts is because you are reading the voltage drop of the light that you just pluged in. Where 25 volts? Because the other lights are 3 times higher in wattage give or take. from: bmetong


Can measure Automatic Voltage Regulator voltage of a generator by dc meter?

No, you cannot accurately measure the output voltage of an Automatic Voltage Regulator (AVR) using a DC meter, as the AVR typically regulates AC voltage for the generator. A DC meter is designed for measuring direct current voltage, while the voltage output from a generator is usually alternating current (AC). To measure the AC voltage effectively, you would need an AC voltmeter or a multimeter set to the AC voltage setting.


If you measure positive voltage to ground will the meter show -12 volts?

No, if you measure positive voltage to ground, the meter will show a positive voltage reading. In this case, the meter will indicate the positive voltage difference between the measured point and ground, not a negative voltage value.
