    I have a 98' 4.0 5-spd. When I turn the key, "acc" and "on" both work. However, the jeep won't turn over. When I jump the battery to the starter solenoid, it turns over. When I jump the starter relay to itself, it turns over. I replaced the ignition switch and the actuator pin and that didn't...

    I have a 2009 Wrangler, only 40k miles that I just got a couple weeks ago with no issues. Then last week it wouldn’t start. Then the key and one click. I tried jumping it which didn’t work. I tested the battery and it was good but still wouldn’t start. I replaced the starter and cleaned up the...

    Hello everyone, 2015 Wrangler Unlimited at 100k miles. I'll put a few more details down below, but to get to the point I'd like to ask how to disconnect the electrical connector from the starter. I'm working to figure out why my jeep won't start and I'd like to take my starter out to test if...

    Hey guys new here owned my 2012 jeep wrangler rubicon for about 4 months now. My starter has gone out on me (probably cause there was no heat shield…) but I was successful in taking it off but when I went to go put the new one in I noticed a piece of metal that’s on the new one that’s still on...

    Hey all, I have a weird problem on my 05 Sport. Turning the key, the regular dash lights would come on but it wouldn't start or do anything, then it would start intermittently. My shade tree guy said it was the starter. I bought a rebuilt one from NAPA and had my professional shop install it...

    My starter went for the 3rd time in 2 years now. When I pulled the old starter out the metal stud from the old starter stayed behind in the housing and is now stuck in there. Any recommendations how to get it out???

    Just joined this forum and this is my first post here due to my desperation :( I'm currently having issues starting my Jeep Wrangler Unlimited that are UNRELATED to battery issues. Nothing happens (no click(s), other noise) when I move the key to the start position in the ignition and nothing I...

    Does anyone know if turning the key on a 2014+ JK is a good old fashioned direct circuit to the starter solenoid, or is it computer controlled like the new JLs? I’m looking at 2013-2018 JKUs and noticed there’s a delay when turning the key between hitting the ignition position on the key...

    I have a 2011 JK. I have owned it for 6 years and every year when the temp drops under 50 degrees, my starter makes a horrible grinding sound. It sounds like the Bendix gear isn't completely engaging with the flywheel. It will grind and then start fine. It starts great the rest of the day. I...

    Two weeks ago the car sat for about 3 days and wouldn't turn over, but did after two or 3 tries. Has started okay since, with the exception of this (video link below). Only happens on the first start of the day, all others are normal. This morning started with quick cranks then I let the car sit...

    I have to replace the starter on my 2013 JK Rubicon Unlimited 3.6 Auto. The planetary gear inside the starter has disintegrated! Are there any variations in starter design that I should be aware of, or can I buy an aftermarket unit*listed for 'Jeep Wrangler 3.6L 2012-2016'?

    Hey Jeep owners, so I’m completely stumped! Literally one day out of the clear blue sky, my Jeep stopped starting. Nothing outta the ordinary happened, just one morning it wouldn’t start. The ignition switch is not getting any power. I checked everything possible, even replaced some fuses just...

    Hello all. I am currently having problems with getting my Jeep to start. I have talked to about six different people and four of them used to be professional mechanics. Unfortunately, this one seems to have them all miffed. The problem. My starter decided to go out on me. No big deal it was a...
