When turn key, starter does not engage. Can hear relays clicking. Have tried starting in neutral and shifting through gears while trying to start, with no luck.
Perhaps related, several weeks ago, had trouble turning key in ignition. Had the probelm for a few days. Jiggling the key in the ignition allowed me to turn the key and have not had the problem for a couple weeks.
Battery fully charged/load tested. Also swapped with 02 TJ battery. Both batteries start TJ, neiither battery starts XJ, so have ruled out battery problem.
Starter arced/spun when placing screw driver across terminals, but still would not start.
Started bench tested okay.
Have tested starter relay in accordance with FSM, all tests okay.
Need help understanding feed circuit test results. According to FSM, when testing voltage between battery B+ and starter B+, reading should be below 0.2 volts while turning key in igntion. I get 12 volts before turning key and while turning key. What does that result mean?
Suggestions for what to check next?
