Tell me about it... I'm definitely going crazy! Starter is not covered in oil... cleaned it off when I removed it for the test (not that it was bad anyway). Replaced the battery terminals as they were pretty corroded, but still have the same problem of no starts. I was hoping that may have...

I started it this morning with no problem and drove it to the front of my house. After running in to get my stuff, it would not start up again in P or N. To answer your question, it is sporadic and doesn't always start (regardless of being in P or N). Thanks for the advice re: the NSS...

Mudder Chuck, thanks for the thoughts and the links!! I am thinking/hoping that it may be the smaller wire that connects from a harness (near the fuse box) to the starter. I am thinking this because sometimes it seems as if power does not get to the starter, whereas other times it starts up...

Absolutely nothing... the battery is live because the key reminder is buzzing, but the engine doesn't even try to turn over.

Hi all... this is my first post on the forum and I'm hoping for some help/reassurance. I have a 1996 Jeep Cherokee Sport that was given to me by my Grandmother and therefore I have all maintenance records and know that it was a one owner vehicle (it is a manly shade of teal). I have been...
