Hi everyone. I’ve spent the last couple days reading through posts and trying to fix my jeep but haven’t figured it out yet so I was hoping to get some help from y’all.
I went to start my jeep and I got one click but no crank. All the lights, radio, and headlights come on and do not dim. I pushed it up a hill then rolled it down and popped the clutch to get it home. It ran for an hour with no problems. It wouldn’t start again once I was home and turned it off. I took my multimeter and checked the battery in both key positions and the battery was great. Next I swapped fuses under the hood and in the glove box to see if it was a fuse or the clutch safety. None of those worked. I then checked the power going to the main post on my starter and had power there. I used a screwdriver and was able to get the starter to turn. I then connected a female quick disconnect to a wire and attached it to the starter and ran the wire up to the battery. The starter would spin but I could not get it to start.
Do y’all think it is the ignition actuator or the ignition switch?

Thanks you
