Okay, I just bought a 96 XJ and I knew going into this deal that it didn't run. The woman I bought it from told me that the starter and alternator had been checked out and they work fine. She told me that when she put a new battery in the Jeep, that it started up, but it only started up once. I put they key in the ignition, and the radio comes on like normal... but when I turn the key to start the engine, all power cuts out. Nothing happens whatsoever. So I was wondering if what she told me was incorrect. I tried jumping it off with my other
96 XJ and, again, nothing happened. I did notice that the drivers air bag has been deployed and very trashily duct-taped back into the steering wheel. I was wondering if there is some sort of fail/safe that when the air bag deploys, the car won't start or is there some sort of electrical issue causing it not to start.
Thanks in advance! John
