What did you do to your Cherokee today?

Sounds like a short - If you have a shop manual with wiring diagrams, a VOM and a LOT of patience - look for the obvious first - Good Luck

Thanks! I did buy a battery cable upgrade like 3 years ago... Gonna try and install that and see if that works. Hopefully that will solve the issue.

I had a starter on a 89 4.0 XJ go out years ago. Sometimes you can give a whack on the starter from underneath the vehicle enough to get a couple more starts on it.
I changed out my Costco battery that was under warranty and it was no help.
Changed the starter and life was good 👍

It does try and start which makes me think it isn't the NSS or the CPS.

Changed the front diff fluid. While I was doing that I installed a Spicer nodular cover. I was going to go with just a lube locker gasket but then I told myself since the nodular with drain plug would remove the need for a lube locker plus comes with a silicone reusable gasket I was basically saving myself money upgrading. Replaced the nylon washer on the Advanced Adapters SYE with a copper one because the one that came with it leaked. Test drove then realized I should re-aim the E codes I put on along with a relay harness. Man those two things make a huge difference being able to see at night. Wish I did that for my mom while she was driving this thing but I didn't know all the XJ stuff I've learned recently. Noticed there's something going on where the backup lights aren't always coming on going into reverse so I'll have to look at that.

Took my 90 XJ Ltd to a DEQ station In Portland Ore to see if it would pass for a Oregon buyer. It's registered in SW Washington without out smog requirements. With a smog certificate this will help with the sale quite abit.
A pass first time is always good!

My XJ was in the shop for a few weeks getting the leaf springs replaced, freeze plugs replaced, and head gasket repairs.
Now I can return to trivial cosmetic changes like my DRL upgrade, sunroof install, hood vents, etc.
