[QUOTE="deadpool1, post: 440298, member: 21229"] so did not jump start it first? the battery is bad.? is first. you said straight to the battery but did not say the cars battery or some other. it is shimmed.[URL='https://wrangleryjforum.com/threads/jeep-wrangler-yj-factory-service-manuals-fsm-and-part-catalogs.27000/'] service manual free covers that.[/URL]([B]<<<<<[/B]click me get free manual 95) and has full schematics too, amazing. you are correct the wiring can be bad, the starter relay bad or the key switch. here is this list, not using volts first was wrong,1st act, across the battery and someone else cranks it. see 11vdc min. 12.6v to resting and as you crank it goes to 11v min. at 8v the solenoid it chatters. [LIST=1] [*]battery voltage good,[B] test#1[/B], if not jumper cable jump start the car. battery. [*]bad starter RELAY in under hood box. PDC. or key switch. (it swaps easy as pie) see photo 1. [*]12vdc does not make it to the starter solenoid tiny pin cranked. (see #2 or wires or key switch) [*]engine turns ok by hand, if not it is seized. or ring gear bad. [*]wiring, bad. end to end lots and the service manual on starter pages, shows all that. (and is not complex) [*]flywheel ring gear is wrecked. (jams) (look with flash light. see) [*]starting amps is 100 amps par, sure 9amps on the tiny wire to starter, I'm talking big cable. Plus. [/LIST] slow crank, weak, or clicks or chatters, battery is first. hood up easy tests, no need to crawl under car yet, or call AAA auto tow say jump me.. 1 click is bad battery, first. why go to all the work of pulling a starter and installing it and losing shims., when jumper cables answers this so easy. wire/cables all 4 ends of battery cable lugs not a wreck , nine were all bad. day1. (and expected) the relay, can be swapped easy with others, see them there all same part number, the horn relay swap trick. here is my day1 nasty PCD, it clean now. see those black relays , they are all the same.
