by your description, it sounds like you may have a starter problem. The main wire from the battery may be loose on the starter end.as well. If you do any off roading this would be typical as well as corrosion. There is an ignition relay as well, and a fuse for the ignition. This I believe may be under the hood in a plastic box. I would check fuses first, then have a look at the starter and wires. Starters are known to go without warning. If this jeep is a manual transmission, I would try to start it by coasting and catching it in gear. If the jeep starts, it is in the starter,or wiring. Ground wire included. if not, the problem lies elsewhere. keep me posted
It could still be the battery....It may not be strong enough to start it but you will still have enough to operate windows and radio....It doesnt take much power for radio....or windows Unless you move the windows constantly then it will run battery down quick.....Check battery voltage and battery connections...Also jeeps have a ASD relay which means AUTOMATIC SHUT DOWN...This could be a bad relay.........This is under hood at fuse Power Block Box.....This could of course be the starter also...Check wiring connected to starter....Sometimes it will vibrate loose and it will do nothing....And the crank sensor will cause it not to start....It is on the passenger side of engine block under and at back of engine ...You cant miss it if you can get under it.....It has another relay the same size as the ASD relay...You can test the ASD relay by switching the two and this will tell you if the ASD relay is blown...If this doesnt change anything and still wont start it is not the relay.
I am chrysler tech and have jeep manuals.......I can help you through this....I need engine size and exact problem....Does it turn over at all ?..How many miles on it ?..And does the dash lights and gauges operate when you turn the switch on like normal...?..Make sure it is in park and your foot is on the brake while turning it over.............................................Metalpoet
Im having this same problem with my 2007 Jeep unlimited. New battery but about once a week it dies and I have to get it jumped! Have no clue what it can be! Can someone help!!!
First I would ask a friend to tow you to the auto parts store, and yes it sounds like you need a new starter. When the starter kept running it is because the bendix was stuck engaged. When you shut the jeep off and it would not turn over it is becuase the starter is fried. That happens with electrical componants.
