96 cherokee country----4.0 auto. 4wd-----

went to start yesterday ( 20 degrees out ) and i turned the key, bells and whistles went on radio went on, but no crank. after about 4 or 5 turns vroooom, she started. drove to work and parked it for the day in the sun. left work and she started up. ran some errands, started uup another 3 or 4 times.

this morning i got up to go to work, and no dice. all bells and whistles and radio went on, but no crank. had my girlfriend jump the jeep with her car, no help.( she wasnt happy about that) . also tried the tap/bang method on the started while she turned key.

So im gonna go about it in this order when i get home from work.

-try starting in neutral
-adjust steering column ( maybe wiring is jacked up)
-switch starter relay with another relay
-clean battery/grounds
-bypass the nss

now heres where im asking for help..

Ive read countless posts on issues like this.

Is there anything im missing here besides replacing battery...starter and rebuilding NSS?

thanks in advance everyone!

 

Ignition switch and/or fried connector.

 

Well i got home, turned the key and it started. Wtf.
I gues something froze or stuck up because of cold?
