You are asking that is it possible for the battery to die when the high beams are on? Yes but not with a functioning (or properly operating) alternator.

You need to figure out if you have proper charging voltage before you pull out the parts shotgun. Check your voltage with the Jeep running, and let us know what it is. Rob L.

If the truck was running at the time you had the lights on like you said, then died, the alternator was most likely toast. You'll just cook another battery if you put the new one in and try again without checking the system. Rob L. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mvusse Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 Most auto parts stores will test your alternator for free. Can't hurt to remove it and have it tested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

shark Posted August 21, 2010 Share Posted August 21, 2010 a multimeter is cheap at harbor freight. like $5 on sale. a u-pull-it yard will be cheap for a alternator and battery. i got a nearly new autocraft silver for $25 at my local yard a few weeks ago.

Automan2164 Posted August 22, 2010 Share Posted August 22, 2010 I still think that before you replace everything you NEED to figure out if all systems are go in the truck. Buy, borrow, or steal a voltmeter before ya drive me batty, and check the system. For all you know it could have just been a loose wire/cable, and your throwing parts at it wasting money. http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid ...
