Jeep cherokee no start issue - Video
Just finished putting a motor in... went to start it and this happens. I need all suggestions. Don't tell me that it is my battery.
If the starter is bad and it won't even try to turn over the motor, will it cause everything to shut off? I have to wait about 3 minutes to try starting it again or nothing turns on.

That looks to be the ignition switch that sits right on top of the steering column just under the dash. Mine did that and that was the cause of it.

Bad starter will not cause power to be cut off check connections on battery for corrosion and make sure there tight....

Well I am at least going to take it out and bench test it with some jumper cables. Gotta do the free stuff first.. It's 2 bolts and five minutes mine as well.

You can jump the starter when its mounted on motor no need to remove it. Do headlights work when power cuts off ?
