I have a 89 Wrangler 4.2l that I installed a new CD deck into today. The installation went without a hitch, except for the fact that the wires that connect to the LED light for the alarm (LED doesn't work) broke loose. After hooking everything back up and putting the dash back together, the Jeep would not start. I turned it to the "On" position and everything lights up, radio works, blower works, etc. Turn to "Start" postion, nothing. Not even trying to crank over. In the "On" position the battery is reading around 8 volts, so I tried to jump the Jeep with my Suburban, but had no luck with that either. I am starting to think that my battery is shot or that something with the wires to the LED light for the alarm caused it to flip out. I have not had a need or desire to use the alarm since I purchased the Jeep, so I do not know how it works, only that the person I purchased it from a couple of months ago said that it worked. It is supposed to have a starter disable. The model is a CodeAlarm 707 plus 4.0. I tried messing with the alarm wires a little to see if that was the issue but no luck. I am leaning towards the ignition kill in the alarm as the culprit, but with only 8 volts on the battery, it could be that too. I could not find any info on the alarm online, so I am going to call a car security shop tomorrow to find out more info on it. Any suggestions would be much appreciated.
