2001 Grand Cherokee won't crank
I'm having the same problem with my 2001 Grand Cherokee, I understand the NSS and how to refurb it my question is does it still suppose to have fuel coming to the fuel rail or is that a different problem?

There is no refurbishing the NSS on a WJ, it's totally different from what an XJ has. Just replace it and make sure you have enough ATF to top the transmission fluid off when you're done. The switch is less than twenty bucks.
Does that sound like it could be the problem, because I'm at a loss totally frustrated any help would be greatly appreciated.
I tried having the battery tested and the starter as well still no crank the only thing I haven't tried was the cam position sensor and the neutral safety switch if anyone has any insight please inform me.

Get a new tech guy! There are only a few things in the cranking circuit. The battery, the battery cables, the ignition switch, the starter solenoid, and the starter. Try running a jumper wire from the battery post directly to the starter solenoid. That will bypass the ignition switch and NSS.
