gogmorgo Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 Which engine, trans, etc? If a 4.0 auto, that's the symptoms of a bad neutral safety switch. If you also have no/intermittent reverse lights, coupled with a no-crank that's a pretty good indication of a bad NSS. Try shifting back and forth to neutral, try starting in neutral, for a bit. If that doesn't work, leave it in park, turn the key on, and short the starter solenoid. Should crank over and fire up. If that is the case, the bad news is a new NSS is going to be well over $100. The good news is it probably only needs a good cleaning. Its a super easy job, only requires basic tools, and shouldn't take more than a half-hour. When I did mine I packed it full if dielectric grease and then ran a bead of silicon around the outside to hopefully seal it up a bit better. Here's a great write-up: http://bc4x4.com/tech/2010/jeep-neutral-safety-switch-nss/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
