2000 Jeep Cherokee Sport 4.0
Intermittent starting issue where I turn the key( feels normal ), hear the starter relay click, all dash lights on as normal. Starter does not turn over or make a sound. Using multi meter reading 12.6 v at the battery post, found ground was good at the starter. Used a test light to see that there was NO 12v signal at the ignition trigger wire at the starter while turning key to the run position. I jumper the start to confirm the working starter, started right up, so good starter. Ran it for a bit thinking thinking issue is at the ignition switch or NSS. Turned the engine off thinking it wouldn't fire up but sure enough it did start no problem. A few more stop and go errands to run and the Jeep shows no problem starting normally.
My next step is to clean all connection from the battery to the starter, they're nt the cleanest I'd admit. How do I test a faulty ignition switch?. I've seen how to bypass the NSS for testing.
Thanks in advance
