Im working on a 1986 Cherokee with no crank and no start.It has a new battery and i put in my TJ battery just to make sure.Its a 4 cylinder and a four speed.When i turn the ignition the lights on the dash come on but thats it.I bought it a couple of days ago and it toke a few seconds of cranking but then would run fine all day,i drove it for a couple of hours today came home and parked it.Went out a few hours later and now i have nothing.

check your starter and the wires going to it

Seized starter? Tap the starter a couple of times lightly with a hammer, I've seen that work before.

have you checked the neutral safety switch? to check it, move the shifter while cranking to see if it tries to start.

try and bump start it, at leased you will know its the starter wires.

or just run a wire from the battery straight to the starter, if that works you know its wires.
