Car won't start. All lights, dash and car alarm work.
Replaced ignition switch - nothing. Had solenoid tested, tested good. Replaced relay - nothing. Any other recommendations?

See my profile

Did you remove the starter and have it tested?

Remove clean and tighten EVERY Mechanical Joint in your system (Battery clamps to their cables too)? Negative Ground to Engine and Frame Also!

Leave no connection aloneNo "It looks Good"DO IT ANYWAY!

We had starter tested, they said it was good. Took it to new place and had it tested, they said it was not good. Bought a new one, installed, car is back on the road!

Thanks for all of your suggestions though.

AIRBORNE!

The "ONLY Time" a Jeep Hood should be up, is to SHOW-OFF your AWESOME POWER-PLANT!
