Yesterday my check gauges light came on and all of my guages were in the "OK" zone. I thought it may have been a loose batt coming in contatc with the body because my stereo reset and so did my trip odomiter. I pulled over and wedged a wrapped up tow strap between the body and batt (This happened to my friends jeep) until I could get to some tools. The batt was loose when I got home so I tightned it down. Today I went to start it and nothing. I jiggled the key a bit and nothing, I puled the trany into drive and back to park and it started like noting was wrong. It ran fine to work. After work I had the same thing, turned the key and the dash looked like the batt was dead, everything dimed and it did not try to start. I messed with the batt cables and played with the tranny, nothing. I sat for a moment thinkling that I did not want to walk home and tried it again, started right up like it had full juice from the batt, but I had to give it some gas to keep it running for a moment until it settled down. Drove home fine. OK, any ideas? loose ground? bad started wire. The dimming of the dash when it does not turn over makes me think something is grounding out. Help please. I am going to eat dinner and then get to it under the jeep, please point me at the possible starting point. OH ya, 04 rubi auto with 94k
