I have a 2000 Jeep TJ showing "Check Gauges" It's the one with the battery voltage. It drops to zero. I thought my battery was old and I figured it is time to buy a new battery so I did. I plugged everything back with brand new battery terminals installed and I can tell the immediate difference in the start up. It's a quicker and much healthier start up but the same gauge dropped again... I'm confused. Help!!!🙏🏼
Ok the light issue might be diffrent from ur car dying I wiukd start from check or replacing head light bulbs but the other issue is somthing else can u make video how it’s a acting and post it here
My jeep says check gauges transmission over heated service ekec brake system and it just clicks when I tried to start it it was running fine when I shut it off
My check gauge light is on and my oil pressure marks on the L it does not move whether the car is on or off. I recently changed the oil from mobil 1 synthetic 1040 to 1030, do you have any advice on what to do in this situation? I have a 2002 Jeep Gran Cherokee V6 Motor 4.0, thank you.
I have a 2008 jeep commander and right now I’m having this problem. The speed gauge isn’t working, radio won’t work, window buttons for the doors don’t work, windshield wipers don’t work either , and I have no blinkers. It runs still, but after sitting too long it dies so we charge it back up. My dad and I have checked grounds and fuses but still trying to figure this commander out, if anyone knows or has any ideas please lmk 😅
Well check ur alternator output voltage check the engine temp use scan tool to read that check oil pressure psi this light is related to these things the washer pump and all other are just simple other fixes
I recently had this problem and it was from melted wiring under the carpet behind the passenger seat. These wire sit right on top of the muffler. My guess is that the heat shield may have rotted on top of the muffler and the floor is getting way too hot. The carpet was discolored in this spot as well from high heat.
Mine has come on, glow plugs do not light, vehicle won't start, no error codes (cleared errors anyway and plugged back in, error free). Replaced glow plug relay, nope. Replaced glow plug control module, nope. I took out the battery and charged it, worked for a while then started it's crap again with check gauges error (still no error codes read). Took it for alternator test, alternator works 100%. Will try to charge up battery again or replace... but will first check all ground connections. My service 4WD system light has also decided to join the party, so maybe it's a cam or diff sensor... "Check gauges" seems to be one of those "general error" messages, could be anything, all my visible analogue type gauges are fine. Edit: If I quickly switch the ignition on an off a few times (very fast 5 - 10 times), then the glow plug light comes on before it get's a chance to give the gauge error and it starts... very weird, and annoying.
And of what part r u wanting to hear the way it starts or running ? Cause it is stalling dying out as I'm driving , only on the streets not the freeway.
Alec Pointer first you have to scan the car see what codes you have the check gauge will be on if ur car dosent start it can be bad crank sensor but u need to scan it for codes first
So now my check gauges light comes on and my battery gauge turns on and than drops to 0. I took off my negative on my battery while the Jeep was on and it stayed on. Would you happen to know what’s going on?
@@RBTheMechanic well fluid level is OK, wipe off the fan blade other day, haven't drive up any hill since the last time it happened. Change my engine oil it was due to change, wasn't changed when it happened. Dirt was on the fan blade, use soap water wipe it off for cooler breeze to blow.
thanks for the tips about the ground wires 😎 replaced my alternator and battery but the jeep still doing that “check gauges” 🤔
Didn’t check alternator output , oil pressure, coolant temp?
Wow thanks alot from lebanon it helps alot
Welcome!!! Glad video was help for u!!!
I have an jeep grand cherokee, 2003, and the volt goes down when i drive. And says check gauges. What is the problem?
Prolly alternator is bad
03 jeep flashing light battery level is low and the coolant temp one never went past 210
Check alternator power
@@RBTheMechanic yeah alternator just died on my way to work 😬
Thanks for the vid. Good starting point. My 2004 jeep Cherokee does this and the car shuts off randomly, even while driving. What do I do??
Check all the accessories coolant temp temp guage oil pressure reading alternator voltage
It's your crank positioning sensor
Going through the same thing
How do you check it for a 2004 dodge dakota quad truck slt 4 door check gages been on for a week i check everything idk what else to do help please
Did u check alternator output coolant level and oil pressure or level

Check fuses and all connection also check how much voltage output of alternator is
My headlights won't turn on I have to hold down the lever for the high beams in order to have lights

Ok what year keep you have ... check light can be anything from oil pressure switch coolant temp sensor alternator voltage
Are you able to check the coolant sensor oil pressure switching alternator voltage out put

Some might not be making good connection could be igntion switch
And now my car is dying out on me while driving what should I check
Check ur alternator output
How do I do that?
And of what part r u wanting to hear the way it starts or running ? Cause it is stalling dying out as I'm driving , only on the streets not the freeway.
Can't wait to get my check Guage.
It's just showing up on turns, then goes off. WHEN GOING FORWARD.
Yeah check and scan the car for codes
@@RBTheMechanic lol... yes I did take to auto repair and had them do that... . And left with no answers. ** thank God it is NOT" check engine...
@@robyndeboer6779 ok observe all the fishies voltage coolant temp oil if any ids off that will indicate problem in that area
@@RBTheMechanic thank you for posting answer for me about jeep. I got new battery and terminals. Has been fine since.
@@robyndeboer6779 oh nice good job… that’s a new idea for me I just learned to next time check that as well could be bad connection yuppp!!!
Its mainly my battery light goes down
Same here !!! How did you get it fixed?
Oil pressure sending unit
My jeep won’t start and check gages light is on??
Alec Pointer first you have to scan the car see what codes you have the check gauge will be on if ur car dosent start it can be bad crank sensor but u need to scan it for codes first

So now my check gauges light comes on and my battery gauge turns on and than drops to 0.
I took off my negative on my battery while the Jeep was on and it stayed on.
Would you happen to know what’s going on?
Check the alternator voltage I have been getting lotta alternator jobs it’s winter they usually fail around this time
When the trans over heat light come on, what is the cause of it?
The
Cooler can be blocked check the fluid level fan if it works and see if the cooler fins r blocked with dirt debre
@@RBTheMechanic well fluid level is OK, wipe off the fan blade other day, haven't drive up any hill since the last time it happened. Change my engine oil it was due to change, wasn't changed when it happened. Dirt was on the fan blade, use soap water wipe it off for cooler breeze to blow.
@@mrno3525 dose it over heat when it goes up hill?
@@RBTheMechanic yep
Thank you I check gauges my oil gauge wasn't moving at all
What was the fix? I have the same now.
This dude just call the GAS GAUGE a COOLENT GAUGE, not sure I need your advice!!!
Ok by the way coolant gauge or temp gauge
I need to find someone to check all this and watch this video. It's so hard to find good work. SMH.
Yeah check all
my Check GaGe
On
You have to check to see if anything is off with all the sensors alternator voltage coolant temp and fix the fault
Talking too much to say nothing
this didnt help at all lol
U have to check everything alternator lower coolent temp oil pressure
