If you're tough enough to handle 100 replies of people telling you 100 different reasons each why you should not own a Jeep (:rolleyes: ), post this over in Off Topic. Someone over there will know.

Try posting anything good about a Jeep or a Ford over there and they will make you look like the stupidest person in the world.

Battery lights normally don't operate on voltage but amperage instead. If your system is charging and your light illuminates even a little, check your grounds and install additional grounds. I had a salvaged vehicle do this to me before plus many other problems. A very very good mechanic taught me a thing or two about grounds. You would be surprized what all kinda wierd things electricity can do when things are not on the up and up.
