Diagrams show a common ground for headlights and wiper/washer "EB left fender". Likely other circuits share that same ground so weird things may happen.
sounds like battery. when a car battery dies it is dead wasting time trying to recharge it.. Turn headlights on bright, turn heater blower motor on high watch lights, do the stay bright or start dimming. Try to start car with lights on are the going dim. If the headlights do not remain bright while starting car it is battery.
i don't know. jeep battery may be low. turn on headlights. see if headlights go out when you try to start. if lights out,
battery needs charging. if automatic, it may be 'neutral switch'. without trying to start, quickly move the selector from park to low and back 6 times. then try to start in park. if all seems ok then you may need to check battery's wire connections to the starter or you may need a new starter.
you have daytime running lights,the tail lights only come on when you turn the light switch on,so,turn them on at night,they r not automatic,get a new battery
If the alternator is good and the battery is new, then something is draining the battery while it's parked. In the old days people left their headlights, radio or something on and this drained the battery. Now a days this is not as big a problem with 5 minute timers that turn off lights if you forget. I would take it back to whomever did the alternator work for an answer. How old is the battery? You can take it to see if it can't hold a charge any longer. In my experience, most batteries don't seem to hold a charge after about two years. Did anyone do some custom work in your car that requires electricity? It could be this extra stuff is draining the battery.
the headlights work on a light sensor so they come on automatic at night and are on as daytime running lights durring the day. battery is most likely dead. take to local parts store they will bench test the batt for free to tell you if its toast. I think its time for a new one.
Have the alternator checked to see if it is charging enough,it should be 13.65 volts to 14.25 volts,if it is lower than this,with the headlights on,and the ac on high,then replace it.Check it at the battery.
If headlight do not come on, leave them on and start check ground and power.
If headlights do come on then locate the starter and fine something to tape on it, not too hard,
but before u can do this have someone set inside the car with the key turn in the start position...
Turn the headlights on are they bright. Turn the key over do the headlights stay bright.
Start with the easiest and most common problem. Battery is head is has a dead cell and is unable to hold a charge strong enough to turn the engine over.
