Gastank:
While you have the multimeter out.... Jump the jeep off and remove the jumper cables. you should see between 13.3 and 14.4 volts DC at the battery. I have had a diode in the internal regulator go bad, the battery allowed me to drive to work but the alt wouldn't charge the battery. There is also a fusable link somewhere in that system Just can't remember where. Could just be the cabling or the ground but there's a couple more things to check for you.
Good luck!
mallcrawl:
if you already have the replacement type terminals that the wire is clamped onto the terminal bt a couple bolts take them apart and clean the ends of the wires as well as the terminals.
CaptORM:
Ok now for future protection check this:
There is a cable that runs from your battery to your fuse box. Where that cable mounts to the fuse box loosen the bolt and run a wire brush around the connection. Then tighten the bolt back down. Ive had a bad connection on that mount several time.
rocket:
Ok, now that you have read all the various suggestions, have you fixed it yet? What was the prob?
