Hey guys, I finally bought my dream car — a Jeep Wrangler TJ! Test drove it twice then drove it for 2 days fine, but now it won't start.
The details: I insert the key, turn it on, and it makes 1 "click" sound and nothing happens. Yes, the battery is good and I've tried to jump it 5 times just in case. The check engine light is on and the check gauges light is on. I've had a mobile mechanic come look at it — he replaced the starter twice-- no luck, cleaned the terminals and replaced blown fuses-- no luck. Ran codes for check engine light — didn't find any codes. He says the engine does turn manually. He ran some electrical diagnostics and says that there's a "gap" in somewhere in the harness wire. But he doesn't know where to go from there and told me to see an electrician.

Stuff done from mechanic:
- Diagnose of a no crank no start condition
- OE Ultima Quality Built starter replacement with 12 months warranty
- Positive battery terminal replacement
- battery positive cable corrosion cleaning
- check all fuses and relays
- 5 amp fuse replacement under the dashboard passenger side
Anyone have any good ideas?
I've already spent $400 (new starter and labor) and the car still isn't working, I live in San Francisco if anyone know a guy/gal/shop.
Please help me get my dream car up and running again!! — and without spending a small fortune
Thanks!!
