Battery keeps dying: common draw sources to check first

Start with the most common offenders before tearing the Jeep apart.

When to use this guide: You confirmed a draw and need next steps.

Overview

Once you know there's a parasitic draw, check the usual suspects before pulling apart the wiring. The glove box light that never shuts off, the dome light, the radio memory circuit, and worn HVAC components are responsible for most Cherokee draw complaints. Start there and you'll find the problem most of the time without going any further.
