Starting without Brakes??
After that whole hydro locking thingy I finally got it running back to normal. So now I've got another question, Recently my front right brake locked up for no reason at all, I bled some of the fluid and it let go and I could drive it fine again. Yesterday it happened again, this time however I bled more brake fluid than I wanted to . after which it won't start! I'm not sure if this true but I have a theory that Cherokees have a safety mechanism that won't let the engine start if it doesn't have brakes.
Heres the analysis:
>battery is fine
>all gauges are normal
>starter is brand new
>the relay in the engine compartment clicks once when I turn the key
>nothing dims or loses any power while trying to start it
>there is still no fluid in the brakes as of yet
Please I want my XJ to LIVE!
