One problem related to battery has been reported for the 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Since 2007 the Jeep has stalled without warning and there has been trouble with interior lighting. Recently a aaa emergency repair truck changed the battery and suggested new battery clamps. A visit to an auto repair store revealed that the clamps on the car were the wrong size. When the auto store worker replaced the clamp with the correct size the lighting system started to work. It has been several weeks and there has been no stalling. I think the clamps were the original ones on the vehicle.
