Okay everybody, I need some help! I have been trying to track down an electrical issue my 05 Liberty Renegade is having. After leaving my Liberty sit for a few days, the battery dies. Thinking it might be a problem with the alternator, after charging the battery, I disconnected the alternator and let it sit for a week. The battery did not die this time so I replaced the alternator and figured I had the problem solved. The next time I needed to take the Jeep out (this time after it sat for about 5 days), the battery was dead again. After jumping it and running it to full charge again, I pulled it into my garage to do some maintenance. While I was working on it (about half an hour after running it), the door locks locked and unlocked, the rear hatch unlocked and opened and it honked. WTF!?! That prompted me to name my Jeep Herbie the Hate Jeep.
Throughout this process, I have metered every fuse in the engine compartment fuse panel and the interior fuse panel. The only fuse that seemed to be a possible problem was #15 in the engine compartment labeled JB Power (no idea what it controls other than the power windows and sunroof). I removed that fuse and let the Jeep sit for about a week while I monitored the voltage on the battery. The battery dropped from 12.4 volts to 9.5 volts over the course of the week. This made me think that that fuse might not be the problem (by the way, I replaced the battery last year because I thought I had a bad battery). I have the battery completely disconnected to see if it loses voltage by itself.
So what's the deal? Any ideas what the electrical problem might be? Has anybody else had similar problems?
