i have a 97 jeep cherokee with the 4.0 and the last couple of days it has had a starting problem and now it will not start at all
by starting i mean the the starter is not turning over
when i try to start it the all the realys in the pass side fuse and under hood are clicking like its trying to start but nothing happens if i leave the key in the run pos and lay a screwdriver across the starter soleniod it will crank
i have replaced the battery,starter,and battery terminals and i have cleaned the nss switch and grounds look good i also wiggle just about every wire in the jeep and moved the realys arould to check them please help thank u kenny

there is a electric ignition switch located on the steering coloum should look similar to this if it burnt you will not get current to the starter when you turn the key

if its automatic you have a neutral safety switch either one of these will keep it from starting there is a way to clean this switch my xj is standard so ive never had to deal with it maybe someone else can help you out with that answer

update
ok i changed out the starter soliond switch and still nothing all the realys are clicking but nothing else and i all so ran a long ground from the starter to the neg post on the battery and still nothing as for the nss switch i clean it about 3 months ago
any other ideas
if the crank postion switch is bad will the starter not even turn over if i lay a screwdriver across the starter the jeep starts right up and runs fine so if the cps switch is bad would the jeep run bad ?
