1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee - 5.9 Litre Won't Start The engine doesn't turn over at all when I turn the key. I replaced the battery (it was bad anyway) - same result. I took off the starter motor and had Checker Auto Parts test it. It tested perfect. I put it back on. I tested the starter relay. It is good. I suspect it is the fusible link to the starter. I don't know which wire this is. How do I determine which is the fusible link and how do I test it? Thanks, - Paul
Thank you. I don't think it's the crank sensor though. I saw on another site that someone said it was the Neutral Sensor (or something like that). They suggested actuating the solenoid manually and the car started. They suggested starting the car in Neutral instead of Park. It started again.Thank you. I don't think it's the crank sensor though.

it's highly unlikely, there are only two things that can make this happen, not getting fuel (fuel pump failure, fuel pump regulator) or not getting ignition (bad coils, ignition module failure, bad distributor, distributor cap, rotor)
Check your fuel pump relay in the fuse box under the hood located next to your battery. same thing happened to my 98 grand Cherokee. if you turn on the key and you don't hear your fuel pump then the relay is bad and needs replacing.
Three items to check there. Make sure the battery terminals are clean and secure, check the starter relay (quick way is to steal another in the power center and switch them). Also check the engine grounds and that the starter solenoid is engaging. If you have power at the small terminal on the starter when the key is turned to start, good bet the starter is bad.
