Default 04 GC Laredo power but no crank.

Did an injector swap today, got them all in then went to start my Jeep and it didn't start. No crank, no click, no nothing. Dash and headlights work, and I can hear the whine of what I'm assuming is the fuel pump. Tried starting it in neutral, checked my battery connections and made sure I didn't knock anything loose while installing the injectors. My battery has about 12.15 volts with no load and there is no change in voltage when I try starting it.

I'd try shorting the wires on the solenoid. If it cranks, that'd point to your ignition switch or the neutral safety switch. If not, maybe the starter itself. To rule out the NSS, you can find the harness and put a jumper wire between B and C . Hope this helps..

Thanks for the reply, man. It actually turned out to be a worn through wire on an after market alarm that came with my Jeep when I bought it. I disabled the horn when I first got it because it was so sensitive it would be set of by the smallest bump. Basically something shorted it and it was in a constant state of "hey someone's trying to break in!" so it disabled the ignition.
