Title: One time non-crank event
Post by: Gayland Baasch on June 17, 2012, 09:17:40 am
Had driven for a bit, shut it off.  Went to restart, nothing.  Gauges worked, plenty of voltage.  Went to the back and tried the remote start, started right up.  Has worked fine since.  My only guess, ignition switch going bad???

That's going to be a tough one to chase down until you get where it will do it all the time, of course that nev er happends at the house.

Actually, this happened just a few miles from home so I didn't get that panicky feeling.  Couple days ago I'd taken my wife's jeep in for some work, when I got there discovered the water pump was going bad.  Maybe I should be buying a lottery ticket.  In the meantime, no more shutting engine off at stop lights to save fuel :P

there is a silver starter solenoid that could be going bad and if it is cycled with more voltage or just by being cycled might make the circuit to activate the starter solenoid on the starter
