Jeep
grand Cherokee
?
167,000
It all started when the light was left on in the car overnight. so i charged the battery with a yellow box that clips on the battery. so then i tried starting the car and it started, then it cut off. i tried again and it wouldn't start. I thought the problem was the battery again but my dad said it wasn't because the car is starting it just wont stay started so it another problem.
ive included pics and a video to help you guys help me out

update:
someone posted a comment on the youtube vid saying check fuel pump so i educated my self as much as i could on the fuel pump and i went out to find it in the jeep and i found a fuse box, Ive included pictures of that also. so i open it up and locate the fuel pump fuse, and in the link i included above "pictures of engine" click on that and i added more pictures of the fuse box and fuel pump fuse.
so i really hope someone can respond to my post soon because fixing this jeep is urgent.

Did you charge the battery or just use a jumper box? Bet by looks of battery that it's junk and should have a date on it. If over 3-4 years just going dead can kill them and if it starts will choke out the jumper box and strain the alternator.
Charge the battery with a charger out of the vehicle. Then have it tested. If still ok then clean the thing up and the connections.
If the vehicle has some funky alarm system a dead battery would possibly disable it till reset,

The pic showed INTERSTATE as the brand of battery and not used as OE for Jeeps. Lead/Acid car batteries don't last 15 years no matter what you do.
What is probably happening is the battery croaked AND makes no decent connection to the cables. The jumper box didn't charge the battery but rather was connected to the cables directly and perhaps not any charge got to the Jeep's own battery. When that dead just removing the jumper box the Jeep would just stall out - no spark, no fuel delivered and a very dead battery won't even let the alternator keep it going alone.
Need to know battery is good and fully charged with good connections as said or this thing isn't going anywhere,

With any diagnosis, you always, always make sure your battery is good before running ANY tests.
Pull the battery, take it down to a shop or parts house and have it tested. Most will do this for free on loose batteries...

Update:
my dad and i were taking it down to the west side to get it fixed and (i drove in a car behind him just in case it would break down in the middle of the road) stoped to get gas and we he started it again he said that he didnt have to put his foot on the gas while starting it. so it was fixed. he tryed again and it was just fine. so now its back in the garage all fine. BUT we do need to replace some old parts.
Thanks guys!!

Cheap is one of the most expensive ways to approach a car repair! If you think, or parents, car repair is easy or cheap to even do you are in for a HUGE surprise!
Bet I have over 100 grand in just hand tools - want to donate? So far I think it's free to walk!
