This 08 JK has been a nightmare for 18 months now. As of a few days ago we finally had it going. It does have a bad/dying neutral safety switch, but was starting in neutral when it wouldn't start in park.
I forgot to re wrap the heat shield(original was damaged) the last time I was under the Jeep, so I attempted to do so two days ago. as I was wrapping it, I noticed a small arc up at the positive lead and nut. Now the starter just clicks when I turn the key. Starter is not engaging at all. I removed the starter and took to advanced auto to replace, but we tested it and it functions perfectly.
the starter is only a few months old. I've replaced all hot and ground leads as well, with the jeepcables big 7 upgrade kit. It was starting fine before the arc. My mechanic came by and checked all the fuses and relays in the PCM, but none appear to be bad. I even tried swapping the starter relay with the similar relay, but still nothing but a click when I turn the key.
Does anyone have any idea what I may have blown or tripped when I caused the arc on my starter?
