My battery died and I just got wierd clicking and unlocking, but it would still shift into neutral. Sorry, no clue. Helpful huh?

I had that happen two years ago. Jumped it and never had that problem again. Not sure why it did it, but since it hasn't done it in two years, I don't worry about it. I only wonderif I had left a light on inside, not close the door all the way, or if it was an extra humid day that this area wasn't used to.

just cuz the battery is new does not mean it isn't fried.

batteries have shelf lives too.

get it jumped. if it runs, then you MIGHT have a short drianing it elsewhere. but since it is a sudden thing....

If it runs but wants to die at idle, the battery is down but maybe not dead. pull BOTH the battery and the alt/gen and take them to someplace that can test them and see if either or both are fried.

The place you got the battery would be a good place to start. and see if they will warrantee the battery.

i ended up climbing under the darn thing...pulling the front drive shaft, and lowering the t-case bracket...raising the t-case off the support...and replacing my starter.. i had autozone test the old one...nothing wrong. BUT...now the jeep starts and drives fine...hmmmmm. now ive got an extra starter and a learning experience. lib. starters suck when u gotta replace them.
