Thanks for the diagram. If I'm reading the wiring diagram correctly, the PK/OR and PK/LG should have 12v in the start position. Am I correct? Then I can test the ignition switch and know if that's the problem without buying a new one. I feel like the ignition switch has to be the problem...

I thought I changed it about two years ago, but what else could the problem be? The problem is somewhere between the ignition switch and the starter. If I knew what the pins of the ignition switch did, I could test it, but I can't find those details.

I'm reading 70.0 ohms across the coil windings of the relay, but does that mean the relay always works? I guess I could bench test the relay with 12v and see if it works every time. The relay pins look good. I can't see the socket clips because they are inset into plastic. I did spray the...

Thanks everyone for the responses. I feel pretty stupid. I climbed under the Jeep today and the three-wire connector located directly under the starter, does not go to the starter; the correct single wire connector was above the starter and could not be seen. So I tested the wire at the...

Possibly I'm missing it on the wiring diagrams, but I don't see three wires in a single connector going to the starter or starter solenoid. Can anyone help me identify the three wires in a connector going to the starter solenoid?

Is there a way to test the ignition switch?

I replaced the ignition actuator pin about two years ago, but maybe I need to check it again. I looked at the clutch safety switch, but I'm not sure how to get that connector apart. I'll look into a recall. I did put the transfer case into 4L and I have the additional fuse in, and the owner's...

I looked at the Factory Service Manuals, and I don't see three wires plus the main battery wire going to the starter. It fails to crank most of the time. When it does crank, it starts. I have not verified fuel pressure, but that is not the issue, because it starts when it cranks. I replaced...

My 2005 TJ has a 2.4 l 4 cylinder motor with a manual transmission. For years, it has always started on the second try. On the first try, when you turned the key, nothing happened. I would just turn the key to the off position, then the start position, and it would crank and start. Lately, it...
