    2000 jeep grand Cherokee with brand new battery keeps dying while I drive. Reads 12.6 with the vehicle off, reads 13.8 with the vehicle on and will idle fine, and reads 12.6 after. Checked all relays and fuses and they were fine. What can I do next?

    Welcome to the forum dude.
    First off. I'd check your connections, grounds etc. If it consistently starts. But dies when your driving. Sounds like a loose connection some where. Saw where some one had the same issue. Turned out battery cable was loose. Good luck. Post up again if you still need a fix. We can look into other areas that might be an issue.

    Like JKBob said, check the grounds. There should be at least one braided ground strap going from the back of the engine to the firewall. There should also be ground cables on the passenger side towards the front of the block.
