97 xj... hadnt started it in about 6 months, charged battery but it was gone.. bought new battery, ignition lights everything works but no click,click,click or anything.. havent got under it yet and i know this is a lazy post but hoping someone had same issue to guide me right to problem😁..

on my phone atm so just thought id throw this in the mix as it is a little more to navigate site to search for answers, besides did i mention im lazy today??

TIA,

Rob

 

So no click from the starter relay in the PDC? Battery connections tight'?

 

yes connections up top tight,clean and serene

 

Try starting it in neutral. Also try jiggle the shifter between park and neutral, then starting in park.

 

yeah i did that before didnt work, however i did manage to start it in neutral today.. but it did not repeat....

but now its narrowed down to that, i recall the issue here on the forums before but cant remember the part... anyone

Sometimes you'll get lucky with wiggling the gear lever, sometimes it's replacement time. Worth a wiggle first
