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...

Still seeking help! 98 TJ 4.0 5 speed. Just got a donor motor put it in (same year) that I saw and heard run before I got it. Got it all buttoned up, went to start and the starter engages but will BARELY turn the motor over and in doing this, it super heats the ground and hot wire going to the...

My 97 Wrangler won’t crank. Drove fine Tuesday night and no signs of any issues recently, then Wednesday am it wouldn’t crank. No noises at all. So far for troubleshooting we have : Replaced the starter + tested it (good) Checked battery and alternator (both good) Replaced starter relay fuse...

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???

Hey guys new here , please be nice. My jeep is a 2015 wrangler jku . 56k miles, new battery and ran perfect when parked. I was installing amps in my jeep, dark and cold. My final step was power and grounds everything was wired up. They were installed backwards. When I put the battery cable...

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...

Hey all, my 2016 unlimited has been great with no issues. Hasn’t had any problems starting but today i went out to run an errand and it started just fine, ran into the store and came back 10 minutes later and it wouldn’t crank. All my lights were fine, stereo started, ac started but the engine...

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...

Hi all, I am having troubles with starting my JK. I went to start it yesterday and it started but seemed like it killed itself right away, it did this 3 times in a row then won't even try to turn over when I turn the key. After checking fuses and relays I decided to try and see if my remote...

Hello All, My 2011 Wrangler Unlimited just crested the 100k mile mark. As it gets older I want to make sure it gets ample time to warm up before the short drives I have to make in the winter. I am looking to install an aftermarket remote start (preferably on my own - I have some experience...

About 3 weeks ago, my nephew was playing in my Jeep (he's obsessed with it) It was parked in the driveway after we drove home for about 10 minutes. Went to start it up to head home and it did not start. All dash lights came on and nothing. Turned key back to off position, tried to start again...
