Needing it replaced? Tested/Trouble shooting? :dunno:

Will it start/run to get the jeep somewhere? I'm down by S. Broadway and Dry Creek. I could help ya Thurs possibly. My weekend is unsettled - death in the family and I may be having to help clear her condo out and whatnot.......

If you remove it, you can take to your nearest auto parts store and they can check it out for you.

Haha yes you CAN. But don't trust that. They put it in their deal and they can choose "store or customers" I got Dubbed on that one once before.

Sounds more like a relay or wiring if the starter kicks over.

its probably the neutral safety switch, they get gunked up and then your jeep will start intermittently and eventually not at all. Your backup lights not coming on is another good indicator of the neutral safety switch needing cleaned. Both of my jeeps started having the intermittent starting problems and within a month one of them would not start without a screwdriver, but after cleaning the nss they both start perfect everytime. It only takes a couple hours and is very easy to do, there are a few different writeups online with pictures and everything

seems like the solenoid is hanging up could it be leaking oil in that area ? you are jumping it with a screwdriver , so the starter is ok just pull it and check the solenoid

Take the starter off lay it on the ground hook jumper cables up to battery Hook positive cable to starter solenoid touch negative cable to starter housing if bendix engages starter is good.
