Key turns, no start.
Sorry guys, searched all I can using mobile app.
For the last few days the jeep hasn't been starting right away like usual. When I turn the key, it won't crank. Yes radio, windows, lights, etc all work fine. Something strange I just noticed, I can turn the key back to ACC then rotate it to the lock position and pull the key out...the radio is still on. Its never done this before.
Quick help would be greatly appreciated as I'm sitting in a parking lot.

see if you can push forward on the shifter or move it around a little. Could be the neutral safety switch

Hmm, doesn't sound like a fix to make in a parking lot. Can you jump the starting solenoid on the starter to get it to crank??
