new battery and new starter on a 94 grand cherokee 4.0 turn the key nothing happens could anyone tell me what it could be getn real mad spending parts i dont need.. ignition ? coil? doesnt even turn over

 

There's a starter relay in the Power Distribution Center under the hood. It sounds like it's either that or the ignition switch. IMO

 

Check the ignition cylinder at the ignition switch, sometimes a part of the ignition cylinder will break off and not turn the ignition switch far enough for the starting circuit to make contact.

 

Sounds like you are not getting voltage to the solenoid terminal on the starter. The problem could be a bad starter relay, ignition switch or the park/neutral switch if it is an automatic. It could also be a wiring problem.

If it is an automatic try moving the gear selector thru all the gears and then try starting in park or neutral. Try this a couple of times.

Look for a similar relay, in the PDC, that you can use for the starter relay for a quick test.

If this does not show any starting results, it is time to do some electrical testing to locate the problem.

The first test I would do is test for battery voltage at the solenoid terminal while a helper turns the key to start. You should have voltage everytime the key is held to start. If no voltage, you work back from there.

Make sure your battery cables are good, clean and tight at the battery, ground and the starter.

 

so i did pretty much everything it started in neutral twice hoping it m,eans neutral safety switch now where is the switch?

 

Three wire plug on the left side toward the back of and above the transmission pan rail.

 

now is it the one with the triangle piece that costs 240 dollars ? cause i cant find that other one i found something that has a 2 wire connector with a little push button at the end? but i cant seem to find what that is called

 

Here's a write-up w/pics about cleaning/rebuilding/adjusting the NSS. > NSS rebuild
Hope it's helpful.
