Help asap! I'm at the car wash and my jeep won't start, I had this prob earlier but I replaced the terminal ends and it was fine

I have all lights and they are not dim. I turn the key and nothing happens, no starter click or anything help I don't want to be stuck at the car wash all day and posting on my iPhone haha

There are a few thinhgs it could be.nss,solenoid,or starter,try to tap on your starter it works sometimes if starter is old and brushes are worn,nss could be dirty,that requires removing and cleaning,if it is the solenoid you could jumper it and start the jeep long enough to get it home.

i jumped the solenoid to get it home, parked it, shut it off, started it, shut it of and started it (a total of 10x) and it started up fine so i have no idea what to check

i was gonna wait till a fairly warm day and check all the connections and the negative ground

if that isnt it i guess i have no choice but to replace the starter =[

Hopefuly it will last for you,it sounds like the solenoid.

Teal2doorXJ

whats that supposed to mean?

Abovetimberline

It is working right now correct? thats all, maybe it will continue to start until you can look at it closer.

oh well i wont be driving it too much so i got all the time in the world to look at it lol

The reason I asked the year was mine is an 89 and has a relay on the right fender well next to the battery which has caused me problems in the past,yours is not the same.
I always carry alot of spares,I just get them from the jy and test them,I hate breaking down where I cannot get back,I also hate paying full price for parts unless I have to.
