'96 Grand Cherokee Loredo. Seemed like my battery was dead despite having full electronic power....car would not turn over.....called AAA. Tested battery, seemed fine....the guy told me to turn over the car while he took a stab, are sharp punch at the starter with a metal stick (1" narrow pipe of 4' or so). Car started right up.
He said I have a "dead spot" in my starter...and it's likely to go anytime? I imagine that's true. Just thought I'd share this with others....had no idea of this trick.
He told me to do this, it has to be "metal on metal"? metal stick poking the starter. Anyone know on a technical level what's really at work here?....
Thanks
Lance
