If I could get a little advice regarding my jeep not starting, I would be appreciative. I've performed the steps here:
https://wranglertjforum.com/threads/jeep-wrangler-tj-wont-start-read-this.1201/
(Thanks!), and want to confirm the analysis of the results.
1. 2005 Wrangler X (4.0) will not start. Dash lights turn on. ODBII says 12.4V at the port. Meter shows 12.4V at battery terminals. Jeep will not start with a jump starter. The engine does not turn over. Clutch override fuse is in.
2. ODBII says 12.0V when key is in start position.
3. Meter shows 12.3V at the starter positive terminal. 12.0V when key is in start position.
4. Meter shows 12.3V for the ground on the starter body. 12.0V when key is in start position.
5. Meter shows 11.7V to the ignition terminal when the key is in start position. Minor mVolts when key is not in start.
My thoughts:
I'm thinking a bad solenoid or a bad starter.
Other:
A bad relay would not supply power to the ignition terminal, correct?
I don't understand why the ignition terminal is 11.7V and not higher, but this is a clear signal, so the starter should actuate, I would think.
What do you think? What have I missed?
Thanks!
