So a few days ago my 96 cherokee started fine then I stopped at a store and went to start it up and nothing! It won't even crank, everything turns on like normal. The red GEN light comes on, we tried jumping it and it won't even try to crank. I looked underneath and saw that the starter was all dirty and cover in old oil. I tried the old screw driver method and it cranked a little but then the you can just hear the starter motor spin freely.
So I get the tow truck there a day later to bring it on base and miraculously it stars right up, embarrassing! However I parked it at my garage and try to restart it NOTHING! I don't even know where to start
Ok now I definitely need help! I replaced the battery and starter this morning turned the key and nothing!!! To see if it was my wiring I did the old school wire from starter to the positive post on the battery and the starter motor just spun freely... I'm lost now I have 2 problems:
1. Why won't the engine crank with the key turn
2. When I jump the starter why won't it crank the engine ? It just spins.
Thank you guys in advance.
