Help!!!! Starter issues????
I have a 2001 JGC 6 cylinder 4.0 liter. I believe I have a Starter problem but am not 100% certain. Nothing happens when I attempt to turn over engine. Battery is good; however, when I jump the starter the engine starts. I removed the starter and took it auto parts store and bench tested and they said it was good. I have replaced the starter relay and the ignition switch. Any ideas? I am going crazy trying to figure out what is wrong. Help me please!!!!! thanks.

Have you verified voltage at the starter relay when you turn the ignition to 'start'? This requires two people but is an easy check with a voltmeter. Essentially you're looking for power at the signal wire when the key is turned. Once you've verified this, you can move on to checking the power circuit for the starter itself. It's very possible you've got a corroded power or ground cable. Fortunately both are relatively easy to replace, and a good engine ground is always a good thing, keeps the rest of your electricals happy.
