so a little back story.. I have a 1996 XJ 4.0 and it ran like a top except reverse and 1st gear would grind. So I decided to pull the transmission thinking I would resolve the problem quickly. That was 2 years ago... I FINALLY got a good used transmission in it from a 97, and drove it home from my F-I-L shop with the GEN light on. So I bought a new alternator and a new battery. Slapped the new battery in it, and it would crank just like new. So I moved it around my property a couple of times the next day, and it quit starting. The alternator came later that day, and by that evening I had it in too and thought my problems would be solved. I took the battery out and charged it while i replaced the alternator, and when i finally went to crank it up I got crickets. All electronics come on, and everything looks usual aside from it not starting. The only thing I can see different is that now the buzz happens immediately when the door opens rather than when the door opens with the key in ignition. I am out of ideas, and cant find anything online related to my problem. any help or ideas is greatly greatly appreciated!!
