Re: 2000 jgc wont turn over, battery seems fine ...

Sounds like the battery is bad and may be frozen by now or will be soon.


Can you remove the cell caps to check the electrolyte??

The other thing is, the alternator should be charging at around 14 to 14.5 volts when the engine is running. If it is only at 12v this might be why the battery has failed.

If you can, put in a new battery or at least a fully charged one and check the charging voltage with a multimeter if you have one.
