Hi Jeepers, I am from South Africa in Harding KZN. Last month I parked my KJ for 5 days and the battery was flat, asked a friend to jump boost me. Eventually cranked for more than 8 seconds and started. I then drove to Supaquik for a new battery, on my way the dash cluster warning lights came ON specifically the lighting bolt flashing, battery light, ABS and engine light all at the same time. Managed to reach Supaquik in time they tested my battery and got 7.5volts. Supaquik advised me to buy a bigger battery and they fitted it in, the KJ did not crank nor start at all they tried bleeding the fuel system with no luck. Later called breakdown and had it towed to the Jeep dealer for diagnostics, tech report findings was that the ECU burnt, EGR throttle body faulty, Alternator not charging and Crankshaft sensor faulty.
I opted for the expensive repairs they quoted me, a new ECU box, Crankshaft Sensor and Alternator Clutch/pulley. After the repairs the Jeep started and they called me to collect. Everything seemed fine during pick up drove it for 2 days. Today I am back to square one, the jeep cranks but does not start only clicking sounds that I'm hearing. It's a public holiday in our country today the dealer is closed.
Please guys any advice is welcome. Thank you!
