Asked by tbird0u812 Feb 21, 2019 at 12:45 PM about the 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

My wife drove it to work 16 miles everything`s fine when she got there, then
she turned it off,tried to use the remote lock and nothing happened so she
got in and there was no electricity at all.I noticed a very high pitched
squealing noise coming from the alternator a few days before but it went
away after it warmed up i am going today to her work with a trailer and a
spare battery to see if i can get it on the trailer to get it home 245,000 miles
so far.I hope many more to come.Is this common symptom on my model and
year of a bad alternator and/or battery?
