you can get a refurbished alternator for like $50-60 sometimes better than
the stock jeep one I got a 105 amp for about $90 canadian

or you could buy some beastly ones like 180 amp but they are costly

if you do it yourself just bring in your old alternator they will replace it
and just put on your old mounting plate.

just look for alternator or electrical shops in your area

I have a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The inside dome lights were left
on for about 2 days, thus draining the battery. After hooking a jump
up to it I can only get it started while applying pressure to the gas
pedal. The engine turns over just fine. As soon as pressure is
removed from the gas pedal the vehicle shuts down. After removing the
booster cables the battery doesn't have enough charge to turn over the
engine again.

I am not mechanically inclined when it comes to autos, but my guess is
its the alternator. Does anyone have any suggestions/advice before I
take it to the mechanic?? I'm not opposed to replacing the
alternator, but just looking for a little education before having it
towed in, especially if it might be something simple.
