96 4.0 Will not Start - Oxonsteve
Please can someone help. this morning my jeep would not start. I turned on the ignition, and whilst all the dash lights and gauges are ok, there is no response from the starter. It is as if it is immobilised. I have tried disconnecting the battery, and re-connecting. I dont think it is immobilser, as the fuel pump kicks in to build up fuel pressure.

Please can someone help

At a guess the feed to the pre-engage solenoid or the solenoid has gone open cct. You will have to check the connection on the rear of the starter and it's solenoid. Regards Peter
