Cloudy and cold today.  Got the Jeep back yesterday, but the mysterious issue of not starting didn't occur for the mechanic.  She has started about a dozen times since then for me.  I'm not confident that she fixed herself.  She may get traded in on a newer model.  So, if you go to buy a used Jeep, and it is green with an American Flag emblem on the driver's side....buyer beware!

When it not start, what are the symthoms?  No start or no turn over the engine at all?  Got an idea.

Del,

It just goes "click"... It doesn't even turnover the starter.  When she starts, like she has been doing since paying for the tow truck bill, it is just like it is suppose to be....no drag at all.

Mechanic listed several things it could be...a bad spot on the starter was one of them.  A co-worker suggested cleaning up the grounds...one on frame and one on the engine...to see if that helps.  Right now, since I'm about 30 miles from my local mechanic, and 15 miles in the boondocks, I'm leaving well enough alone!  When I get home is the time to piddle with it.

Any leads are greatly appreciated!  She is almost paid for, and in really good shape...when she starts...

OK whne you went "click" you should have looked at the volt meter and seen if it went down to ) or turned on the dome light and seen if it went clear out, if so, it would mean you were not getting enough voltage. 

If not, then it likely would be a bad starter or the relay.   

Clean the ground cables, esp the other end where it grounds from the battery and where there is one from the engine to the frame, clean that and the connections on the starter.   

If it does it again grab your hammer you carry and crawl under it and beat on the case of the starter and see if that helps.

It is good to beat the starter when someone is holding the ignition switch on start. That is what we had to do to get the suburban to start before the starter was replaced last week.

If it was the Neutral safety switch, it most likely wouldn't click. You don't have to really beat the starter, just tap it with the hammer. I've had several starters that got that bad. Easiest one to deal with was the Taurus, starter was only about a foot behind the front bumper.

No click with the safety switch is right, why I was trying to find out what it does.  Have a similar problem with The Field Marshall and before on The General,  turn the key, nothing happens, I'm in neutral left foot on the brake, right on the gas with my heel, trying to toe the starter as I turn the key. ::)   Old ingrained habits die hard, learned to drive on a 53 Dodge 1/2 ton when about 12.  LOL    After 10 years of one with a safety switch in the clutch I am doing it less and less.    ;D

And no, a good tap will often work but a good whack makes you feel better.   :P

I learned the same dance, but with a '54 Chevy. Then when I went to the Army, had to learn a new one, push the clutch with your left heel, so your left toe can reach the starter button on an M151 Jeep.

Thank you good folks for the tips!  She is still running fine.  I have tomorrow off, and I plan to clean the ground connections.
BTW, yes, she is an automatic...2009 Wrangler.

I had a manual the first 4 or so years that I lived in Houston.  The last 30 to 40 minutes of my commute was stop and go traffic on a freeway.  It was a good workout for the left leg...but made me lopsided!

Had to go out early and spread salt. We got a bit more than they predicted,plus there was some ice under it. The truck had to go for servicing as well. while there,  they found the tranny cooling lines were leaking, so it was down for the rest of the day. We used our personal vehicles to finish the day out. ::)

Currently 29, broken clouds ::)
