ITs a 1990 jeep cherokee i drove it out to dinner tonight and went to get back in a start it and i had nothing. my head lights work and dash lights work and thats about it. the gauages dont read any battery level or anything else. its cold *** hell here so i have not looked at anything yet tonight but was woundering if anyone else has a suggestion. i tryed jump starting and that did nothing. i dont think it could be a alternater? maybe a starter??

 

I doubt its the starter. But then again, I dunno if there is a big difference in how Renix Jeeps react to a starter not working. My 91 had that issue a couple of times; I'd turn the key and all the gauges would fly forward, the temp in the red, the volt into the 19 range, fuel to F, etc. But no crank or anything. The starter would prime and lights and everything would work. Could it possibly be a bad/loose ground wire somewire?

Sorry I couldnt help all that much. Good luck!

 

well see my gauages dont work at all im not getting power to my inside. no wipers no stero no turn signals. only thing that works is head lights and dash lights nothing else right now

 

Snowboard, is it ok if I borrow this quote and take it to couples counseling?


"all im not getting power to my inside."

 

It could be your neural safety switch. Go outside and put it into reverse. If your reverse lights don't come on it's a good chance it's the nss. You can take it of and rebuild it with some sand paper and new lube. Give it a shot.

 

Neutral safety switch

 

NSS or Starter.

 

1. Clean your battery connections. Both cables and posts. Until SHINY

2. Try wiggling the shift lever while turning the key and try starting in neutral. If either of these techniques works, you have verified a problem with the neutral safety switch.

 

Sorry guys forgot to say it was a 5 spd

 

do the headlight go dim when you tryto start it

 

before you had this problem could you start if with out having to push the clutch pedal down some have a swithch on the clutch pedal

 

check fuses yet

 

Try to wiggle your fuel injectors, does it turn at all?

 

It would start with or with out the clutch in. Also I guess my gf went out this morning and it turned over and started but then died if that helps at all

 

Try your fuse box check all of them or solenoid or wires to it or starter
