I started my jeep this morning, pulled around to the mailbox turned the engine off. Got back into the jeep and it would not start. It has a full charge battery. The engine wont turn over, there is no clicking, just nothing. I am looking for suggestions where to start looking

Hi, did you try cranking in neutral? Next, I check the voltage circuit at the starter relay. Voltage to the switch/ load side of relay is hot all the time. Voltage to the coil side of relay, goes hot with the key in start position.
