1996 wont start
recently my jeep has been starting slowly. yesterday at work it wouldnt start. I would put the key in and turn it halfway and all of the electical stuff would turn on but when I would try to start it, all electricals would turn off and I would have to disconnect the battery cables to start this over again. I sprayed the started and battery terminals and wires with corrosionx and was able to start it and get it home. When I got there it would not start. I have new terminals that I will be putting on today as well as cleaning the connections of the starter and battery wires. Other than that, do I need to do anything else for me to not have any other problems. Im just wondering if I need to spend money on a new starter, battery, alternator? Thanks alot. Ted

terminals have been replaced, posts have been cleaned, and the started has been scrubbed. The jeep is running like a champ. Thinking about replacing the starter soon but im not sure yet. Thanks for all of the info guys!
