After i finished working on my coil springs today i started my jeep up either the starter was going bad or the battery was very low cause it barley turned over but it did. i parked it and came back in about an hour and no start fuel pump starts going but no turn over i put a new starter in it and still nothing battery seems very low but even when i jumped it to enough power still nothing from the starter is their something im missing i just cant figure it out it has never happened before? battery is low but radio works .

 

While you were getting a new starter, you should of taken your battery to get it load tested as well.

test your battery

 

If your battery tests good, then check the battery wires. Same thing happened to me and it was corroded wires.

 

i checked the battery and it was good so i guess its the wires? but my radio plays thats what is bothering me lights go on to but nothing from the starter? im gonna check and see if the starter is getting the power tomorrow and post something if its not.

 

I would check your main fuses cuz basically the same happened to me but it was a loose fuse

 

Alt? What your volt gauge reading?

 

If your battery is bad enough even jump starting it won't help. I am guessing your battery. Not enough amps to crank it over. You probably have enough volts to run the radio and stuff but not enough amps to turn over the starter

 

when i charged the battery it went back to 100 % so im guessing its okay is their a fuse under the steering wheel that goes to the starter and if so witch one is it i dont have a book for jeep anymore.

 

Have you load tested the battery yet? I would really start there. Just because it might be charged with 13 volts doesn't mean anything. I would make sure your battery is 100 percent good before you start chasing problems that possibly aren't there.

 

battery terminals and or bad wires is my bet.

 

Dude read the post, more than one person recommends doing a load test on your battery, you can have 13-14 volts on your battery, but not enough amps to crank it over, that's what a load test does, checks the amps.

There are no fuses under the steering wheel

 

i put the battery back in and cleaned the battery terminals real good and it started right up thanks for all the input.

 

I have had a lot of trouble with bad grounds, check anyone you can find and clean it.

 

This sounds exactly like an issue that I have every now and then. What's the fix? I push the selector lever into P further, to where it won't move anymore. The wiring is getting old, so the killswitch isn't being deactivated properly.

That's what's up with MY 'Okee, anyways. Hopefully it's this easy for you.

 

my battery terminal connectors are not good i just need to get new ones and that should solve the problem they just dont fit tight so news ones should fix it.
