yes i HAVE been searching and looking for info so dont harass me :roll:
1996 4.0 automatic
so the jeep was turning over slower and slower for a while now untill last night when it finally just wouldnt start... no crank at all, no clicking coming from the starter motor, just the click of the relay coming on and off. the lights are bright, stereo's loud, and still wouldnt start with a jump which i think rules out the battery.
its in my driveway now so today is diagnosing day.
so here is my plan of attack and some questions i have about them
-check voltage with multimeter what voltage should a good battery read?
-check fuses #10 and #19 and starter relay am i missing any?
-check voltage at starter, which should be the same as the battery do i do this while someone is turning the key or ignition off or what? also what contacts do i do this on?
-check ground continuity for battery and for starter
-try jumping from main (+) connector at starter to the solenoid where the lead connects from the relay keys in off, on, or start position?
anything else im missing?
