Last week my TJ had a tough time turning over. I had a slow crank before it finally turned. Drove to a friend’s house and shortly after tried to start it but it won’t start.
Checked the battery voltage and cleaned the terminals. Voltage was good but my reader said bad alternator. Changed the alternator. Nothing. Changed the Clutch Safety Switch (or whatever the official nomenclature for it). Nothing. Checked the starter voltage - it’s at 12.5 but still won’t crank.
Fuel gauge on dashboard goes up when I turn the key. The one thing I notice is when I try and turn the key to start, the radio turns off. Maybe unrelated but thought I’d throw it out there.
The only thing I have not checked is the ignition actuator pin and switch as well as fuel pump. Is there anything else I could be missing to check?
Any advice, feedback, or guidance is appreciated
