Why does my volt meter keep going bad?
When checking power with a volt meter, this goes unnoticed because the meter does not draw enough amperage to cause the bad connection to break contact. Your battery is grounded to the engine block and also has a small lead to the fender.
What to do if your Jeep Wrangler battery won’t start?

What should the battery reading be on a Jeep Wrangler?
Batteries use CCA (Cold Cranking Amps) to measure starting power. Be aware that your battery could have power, however, when under load, the cranking amps are not powerful enough to get the starter to crank the engine. A good fully charged battery should read over 12.6 volts. If the battery reads 12.45 volts or less, it is low.

What is 5V output on Jeep Wrangler?
The 5v output is power for these: TPS, MAP, speed, crank & cam sensors. A sure sign you have lost that output is when you turn the key to the on position & the gauges do not move. You also lose communication with the OBDII data port & a scanner will not “communicate” & not read.
