It sounds like you have a bad neutral safety switch or your linkage is worn enough that it's not registering properly.

Where is the neutral safety switch located on my 2008 Jeep wrangler?

Sounds like you're starting at the expensive end and working backwards! First, check your battery, make sure it has a good charge. Second step is the starter solenoid. Some designs have external solenoids, some are internal. Third is the starter itself. Once you are sure all that stuff is good, THEN it's time to start looking for the neutral safety switch.

The check engine light is meaningless when the engine is not running.

I have a 2000 standard shift jeep wrangler sahara, I went out to start it , there was nothing, we replaced the battery, the clutch safety switch, but still nothing ,any suggestions, need this going asap,...

can you use a jumper wire at the starter to bypass the key ? Jumping the small wire on the starter solenoid with the large wire should make it crank.

For 1992 Wrangler, manual transmission, able to jumper across the hot and start connections on the solenoid to start the truck, but nothing when the key is turned.

The problem is in your ignition switch. The ignition switch is in the steering column. It is just inside or under the dash. The ignition switch is not sending power to the starter solenoid.

2006 Jeep Wrangler won't start

First, make sure you can turn the engine by hand. If you can't then the starter can't turn it either. Have someone else turn the key and look for the source of the click...may be a relay. Go over the starting circuit with a volt meter. Check for power at the starter main terminal and then with the key turned to "start" check for power at the trigger terminal on the starter. Check battery voltage and check relay operation.
You have a neutral safety switch on the transmission if its an automatic and a clutch switch if it's a stick. Check them as well. Make sure battery grounding on fender and block are also clean and secure.

Engine will not turnover

If there is no power coming IN to the starter relay - the ignition module has failed.
Replace the Ignition.
