hear a click?---> starter? Turn the key and hold it... jiggle the shifter.... check your wire harness....
Tap starter really hard with a hammer, try to start...

this sounds really familiar. I'm having a similar problem with my '96 cherokee sport. battery power is fine, but nothing happens when i turn the key. had to replace a fuel sensor of some kind about a year ago when this happens but of course when i took it to the mechanic, she started fine and they couldn't figure out what the problem was. any suggestions other than those listed above?

You might start here;
If you hold the key over, and jiggle the shifter in park or neutral and it starts, it's your NSS. http://bc4x4.com/tech/2010/jeep-neut...ty-switch-nss/
Also having the battery terminals/cables shiny clean lead is always a plus.

No, not really the same. I mentioned the terminals, posted a link, and mentioned park and neutral. Granted, in the ballpark though.

I got it fixed I feel like an idiot overlooked the easy stuff I took terminals off cleaned them and tightened them down it works great now I never dreamed that was the problem because I had power to everything I guess just not enough to turn it over it never even clicked thanks for all the help
