My wrangler died a few weeks ago while out in the field checking on some cows. Jump start with no problem. It sat for week or so and battery seemed weak. Lights dim, but starter won't turn. Battery charger said charged battery. Autozone checked and agreed. Now nothing electical works.

Where to start?

Thanks

If nothing works, i'd take a look at the connection between the battery terminals and the clamps. Give everything a good scrub with one of those battery wire brushes you can get from autozone.

Good luck!

Yep, check the connection at the battery terminals and check where they go to as an older cable could have broke with moving them. Also make sure the master fuse or fusable link to the main fuse block is not blown. If you are getting no electrical anywhere, you definitely need to check that the main fuse block it getting power (that's the one under the hood, not the dash).

Good luck.
