1993 Jeep YJ 6 cyl Four Wheel Drive Manual 140000 miles

I just got my 1993 Jeep Wrangler YJ. It worked perfectly fine for about two weeks now, but every so often the battery would seem weak when starting up. Took awhile for it to roar to life.

Then this morning, i went to start it, and it just clicked. It didnt even try to turn over. I tried it several times then gave up. I charged the battery all afternoon so it was at 100%. still nothing. I then tried to jump it with another truck. Still

Check all terminals between the battery and the starter. It sounds like it could be a bad connection. Look for buildup of corrosion or rust on all the ring terminals, and check the engine ground strap. If the ground strap is bad, it would cause those symptoms.

yea i thought it might be that too. but i cleaned the posts and connection and it still didnt work. i then got a good new starter and it didnt work. then took push started it and took it to autozone. bought a remote starter, started right up. i think the problem is the ignition switch. its located above the steering wheel, so its kind of a pain to replace. right now i just have the remote starter hooked up to my starter, then the wires are goin through the whole in the floor and is draped over the shifter. Good temparary fix til i get the chance to replace my ignition switch

Oh, yeah. I forgot about the ignition switch. Well, sounds like you got it figured out. Good luck swapping the switch. Doesn't sound like much of a walk in the park.
