First thoroughly check your electrical connector/connections, starting with the battery.
Work your way out to the components. (I mean REALLY look at them, check for the creeping crud=oxidation,broken strands) This eliminate a common issue with our jeeps.
When you do that, the next is to check your ignition relay.
I'm telling you this so you don't go chasing gremlins like I did, replacing components that were good over a crappy connector problem!

Does it make a single click sound when you try to turn it over? The previous post makes sense. I ended up changing the starter as I was in a parking lot when it happened. $125 for a tow or $150 to take a chance and change starter. That solved it. Advanced was in same parking lot, and had tools on me. I could always return it if it didn’t work. Hope this helps
