Its a 96 XJ, 4.0 aw4 4x4. Went out today after running errands and the starter simply clicked. I know the battery is brand new so its not that. Grabbed a new starter and threw it in. Same thing just a click. I tried cleaning cable ends as they were crusty but that still didn't help. You can feel the solenoid clicking but no turning out of the motor itself. I bench tested both new/old starters and they both engage/spin fine out of the vehicle. The motor itself turns over just fine with a socket wrench and the teeth on the ring gear look perfect. I'm at my wits end with this, can anyone help or had similar experience???
