My Jeep won't start
I've tried everything I can think of, new battery cables, fresh battery, had the starter tested and they said it was good, new ignition switch. The Jeep buzzes when I put the key in like it normally would, but when I turn the key to start it, NOTHING, not even a click, anyone have any ideas what else I should check out, thanks very much in advance, by the way I also put a new relay in, Jeep's a '94 Cherokee country, 4.0, 4x4, thanks guys

check the N safty switch, if its auto and check the dead man switch if its a clutch. i would all so try to by pass it hook a wire up to where the green wire runs to on the starter and then make shear its in N and the touch the wire to the + side of the battery. make shear that the key is flipped to on.

Yeah sounds like the neutral safety switch. Mine is buggered and does the same thing on occasion, turn to 'run' and the pump comes on, turn to start and nothing happens. There was a post a while back about adjusting/cleaning the switch, but I don't have the link right now.

I have some pics in there to try and bypass the NSS if it is an auto, to test and see if it is the neutral safety switch/neutral position sensor...

Just give that bypass a go. takes all of 30 seconds to bypass and be able to rule it out, heh. that is what i had to do, after chasing everything else... Good luck! :-)
