Jeep won't start... Pulled the starter, starter relay and batter and all are good. i don't konw where to go from here. I get power to all accessories, it just won't even engage the starter. i verified power to the starter while on, but unable to test if i am getting power when turning it to "start", since that requires two people, and i am a one man band, heh. i have a buddy coming over this weekend to help, but seeing if there is anything else i can do in the mean time... Thanks as always for any help!

multimeter the key switch. if you get power through the switch to the meter then you know the switch is good. then check continuity on the wire. sounds like a break in the wire though

Unfortunately, i agree at this point. thanks for another place to start. sometime you get stuck and need a new direction, heh. at this point, i wish it was the starter, lol. that was easy comparatively to the rest of the wiring and chasing down the break...
