wierd non start issue

[mik666]

Hey all

 

so my Comanche had/has a non-start issue (87 4.0 2w dr auto) - i'll jump in it tun the key, get power etc etc, but no start - no clicking of the starter etc. I'll turn it back off and after afew tries it fires right up. I first thought starter switch, so changed it out, and for a week it was fine so thought i'd fixed it - but did it again this morning. I'm planing to recheck all the grounds, but i did redo all of them recently, including refreshing all  the cables from battery to their spots. Any thoughts what to look at? maybe neutral switch is dirty ? 

 

thanks as always

Does it start if you shift into neutral, or back and forth from park to neutral a bunch?

Check your battery cables and then do this before you replace anything else: http://bc4x4.com/tech/2010/jeep-neutral-safety-switch-nss/

I ran a bead of silicon around the edge before I screwed it back together, just to keep it cleaner inside.
