Gone through 5 starters in 2 months. No engine codes. Just stops turning engine over. Thoughts!???
Starter issue 17 JK Sahara

No, they were all duralast refurbished starters. Most smelled hot/fried. My research, and limited mechanical knowledge has me leaning towards a bad ground. Just can’t seem to track it down. Having problems running cable tracing. Relay seems good, but might replace that anyways to be safe.
I would suggest getting a new starter and trying it.
I’ve gone through 5 starters in 2 months. Read different feed about not starting when engine is hot and I’m having similar issues with mine. If I try to start it while it’s hot winds up frying starter.
Thanks for advice though. Every time I put new starter in, turns over immediately without issue. But looking into crankshaft position sensor for now and trying to trace down the ground wire for starter from battery to make sure it’s clean with good connection.
Bad grounds can cause alot of problems, a easy way to find out would be to run another ground cable from the neg post to the engine.
