Re: Strange no start, 88 Cherokee

Ummmm engine to body mesh ground strap ?? (had to ask lol)

Could be a bad solenoid or possibly a fuseable link is gone... you can always take it to Cambodian Tire for the free bench test..

Possibly the ignition switch? If you short the solenoid trigger to plus voltage does it crank? My son's 89 has a big metal covered start relay but I don't think it would cause it not to crank as I understand it.

That big metal relay thing... Yup it will stop it from cranking just like mine does..... or doesn't depending on which way you look at it.
