97 Jeep Cherokee won't start when warm
1997 Jeep Cherokee won't start when warm. Electrical fine: radio and lights work. No sound at all when trying to warm start, no cranking, totally quiet. After waiting 5-10 minutes, I hear a faint click or two, than it will start.
It will always start when cold, always start when hot, no idling or driving problems. Typically I start it cold, drive two minutes (temperature gauge has moved a little but not at full temperature), turn the jeep cherokee off, then it won't start, I wait 5-10 minutes, then it will start.

I guess if start with checking the electrical wires from battery on. Make sure their tight and clean and load test battery/alt.
Any other symptoms? How long has it been doing this?
