our 3.8 jk recently gave the impression of dead battery, sounded like it wouldnt crank. but the engine actually did turn maybe half a rotation each time we hit the key. battery was fine, full charge.
this happened with air temp in 70s, low humidity, had sat for maybe a week.
i got the impression the solenoid was stuck in activate position cause i really didnt hear the correct clunk when i turned the key.
i finally did a direct 12v to the starter itself and it ran immediately.
so i put the 12v to the solenoid post and it responded as it should. wife hit the key and everything was fine!
next day on starting it seemed to be about to do it again but it went ahead and cranked, (polite little monster).
jeep has 60k miles no harsh winters or weather.
anyone had similar delimas? thots?
