My buddy is having a strange problem with his newly purchased (highly modded) XJ. He took it out wheeling though some pretty deep water this past weekend and drove it back from New Jersey to Virginia and the next morning the battery was dead. He tried jumping it off and as soon as he hooked up the cables, the engine started turning over. Assuming the water had something to do with the problem, I beat on the starter solenoid with no luck. I pulled the starter and had it tested at Autozone and they said it passed. I also pulled the starter relay and swapped it with the AC relay and had the same result. I ran out of time to keep TS'ing at that point.
The only other thing I could think of is the ignition switch, but I didn't think that would be likely since it didn't get wet. Would the starter fail its test if the solenoid was stuck shut?
Any ideas?
