2005 LJ 79K miles, 42RLE auto. Today was driving down a dirt road and the jeep just died..stopped running. Now I have a no start/no crank issue. Electrical power is good to everything else. Lights, dash, radio, winch (had to winch it on the trailer).
Here's what I know so far:
It Will now not communicate/connect with my scan gauge at the OBD2 port.
I tried cycling the shift lever and trying to start it at the same time to see if it was some type of safety switch lockout issue.
When I turn the ignition to ON, I don't hear the fuel pump running/priming like it should before the start.
Under normal operation the CEL light will come on briefly before engine start when the key is placed in the ON position. Now, when key is turned to the on position, the CEL will not illuminate.
Am I looking at a dead ECM/PCM? ..or are there some other things that I should be looking at. I've checked all connections/fuses/etc. Truly at a loss right now and would like to get some input before I start shotgunning parts on it.
Thank you...
