2013 jeep wrangler battery went dead charged it not it wont stay running with the key runs for about 15 sec will shut off with the key but only way i can start it is with the after market starter.

Igmitionlock or switch on colum bad

Could be the starter motor, a bad solenoid or bad battery connections.

battery is dead.
check fuses, the clicking is the starter relay that is its job is to click.
but if it rattles that means low battery

what we do is a AAA jumper of battery, jump start battery with a donor car. if it starts now. then.
1: the battery was only discharged , so charge it.
2: or if it repeats the battery is bad. OR
3: if the voltage is not 13.3 to 15v running the alternator is shut down.

easy huh, just 3 checks.

you just need to relearn the idle hold your foot on the gas about 10-15%and let it run for a few min then slowly release the gas

starters, alternators and radios will drain the batteries the fastest

Yes, the majority of vehicles can be started and then the battery completely removed from the vehicle and continue to run. If your Jeep dies and then wont restart (or is hesitant) because of a dead battery, this would most likely be the alternator connections, or event he alternator itself. Obviously the alternator is not supplying current to the vehicle. Most autopart stores can check the alternator for you, often free of charge and the easiest placed to start.

With a test light follow the wires from the battery to the fuse box to see where you lost the connection. You may have a burnt fusable link. . Run 12 v directly the the fuse box and see if that helps.

ok i know this might sound wiered but i just had the samething happen what i did was i cleaned the key with soap and water dryed off , locked the door with key and unlocked with key then got in jeep tryed starting it ,it started right up gauges all work now and windows work and running fine doesnt shut anymore.

Hi There,

Had the same thing going on with my '91 Wrangler. After checking what seemed like every other component, I finally pulled the injector rack.

I found all six to be gummed up to some degree. Cleaned them up. put on new o-rings and reassembled.

Fired right up and stayed that way

if the battery is good and you jump the starter she should run otherwise you may have a sensor issue, try to get a hold of a code reader and see if any codes have popped up..
