i have a 93 xj the problem is for the last week i have had to jump the starter to get it to start.
would that be a starter problem or the nss ?
i am by no means a mechanic so any help would help.
==noob ==wgm
sounds like u need a sylinoid on starter, sounds like u need a starter
souds like nss, does the solinoid click at all when using the key? also try puting the shifter in neutral or gigling it around in park if it starts then, then its nss for sure,
if the solinoid is clicking and not turning starter..... then R&R starter
when i turn the key nothing no sound or anything
and i tried moving the shifter to no avail...
but as soon as i jump the starter fires right up no problem..
take the starter out, take it to a parts store and have em test it, if its good then its nss

If u can jump the starter then the starter is good. If nothing happens when u turn the key u either have a bad ign switch, nuetral safety switch, or a broken wire somewhere.
When u jump the s terminal on a starter u have already bench tested it :)

the solinoid can still be bad, even if it works by jumping it...... been there done that to many times to count

This is also true, good point. Just sayin that the starter motor itself is good. Sounds like hes not gettin any switched juice to the starter to me.
Prob the cylinoid on starter.
