Id bet because you took the cables off and the put them back on it got a little better connection. id replace the terminals with marine ones, and clean the posts on the battery with a wire brush. sounds like connections and/or wires. FYI you can get 12v off the battery and still have it be bad. a true "Load Test" is the only way to find out. if you pull it the parts store can do it real fast on the bench for you. Remember all batteries have "cold cranking amps" thats the real strength of the battery.
My XJ does not have an AC compressor. I want to get one for the upcoming summer season. However, I do NOT want to spend hundreds for a brand new one. Is there a compatible used one I con pull off a junk yard? If so and they don't have any XJs, what year and model of Jeep should I look for when pulling it off?
any of the post 96 jeeps should work (xj) cherokee that is. Very few cherokees came W/O A/C so sourcing used parts wont be hard. the hard part will be installing a new condenser in the dash box. (heater cor swap) ive done several, just takes a good solid day to do. post rounding up the parts.
WAIT, Can you post a pic of the under hood? i might have what you need for pump and would swap you out the A/C delete bracket (if its right)
OHO! Shnap! Yeah, they just pulled the pump, when you drive it down here to install the bumper we can swap the stuff out. i have a pump in the MJ that should work. and i need that bracket.

Thx for posting tyler!
