no crank so start
so pre strory- drove my jeep home from work and every thing went fine
next morning hopped in my jeep like normal would not start or crank, lights had power everything turns out one of my ignition switch wires on the harness got pulled out either ignition switch out put or fussed B+ i need to do a bit of wire splicing to make it long enough to reconnect but seem theres a short now( or i think) when the wire is connected but bearly i still get the no crank o start but the battery meeter on the dash goes from around 13 amps to 9 amps but as soon as i stop trying to start the jeep the gauge goes back to about 13 any ideas?

"screwdriver jump!!"
you can try jumping the starter red cable to start wire. if no crank there,bad starter. red cable direct to batt.
you can start if key on in park,CAREFUL!!
my bad starter showed up this way.
