I'm having the same problem w/my 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee Lerado v8. Got a new battery & it would crank but not start, acted like it was out of gas. I had to reset the security alarm system by turning key on drivers side door, passenger & rear hatch, wouldnt start until next morning w/np. Then... ran fine all week. I drove it around the block, changed the battery terminal, had to reset the alarm system but now it wont start. Engine doesnt even crank. All lights on dash come on, can hear fuel pump click on. Can NOT hear the starter spin either. Wondering if the security system is locked not allowing the jeep to start or the starter to spin. If the crank sensor, starter fuse, or ignition coil was bad, would the engine still crank? What would cause the engine to NOT crank?

1995 does not block starter nor does it in 2010 up.
if it had an IMMO lamp it would glow. but has no such lamp.
The immo blocks spark and fuel if it had it, so forget IMMO
VTSS./VTS<SKIM etc.
i
the starter must have a good PRNDL switch
aka: TRS, transmission range switch. if its an automatic trans.


no, only the start needs to be repaired now, the start system
note how I didnt say the starter was bad.. but could.

Make sure battery has a full charge and battery connections all good. I don't think your security system is the problem? At the starter motor two voltage circuits, one is fuse protected and is hot all the time. The other circuit goes hot with key in the start position and relay is energized. Any testing at relay or starter motor, make sure tranny is in park or neutral and parking brake is set.

I had a skim module go out in mine in the ignition, and I have a 2001. It's a 100 part, and now it starts fine.

12 is a battery disconnect within the last 50 start cycles and 55 means the end of the diagnostic cycle.  Basically the computer found nothing wrong. The 12 code may seem incorrect if you haven't disconnected the battery recently, but from my experience the 12 code shows up almost all the time regardless.

Do you have an alarm on this? If you do, that is most likely the problem. There seems to be a problem with the alarms. You may want to have a new key made just in case. Sometimes the keys are magnetically charged and after time, it wears off.

hi, this could be you have not reset the ALARM, when you toke the battery off. please undo the NAGATIVE lead OFF the BATTERY and hold the battery lead ON (for 2 seconds) then take battery lead OFF. you will hear the ALARM make a funny noise (this resets the alarm), put the battery lead ON again and the alarm should SOUND then tighten the NEGATIVE LEAD TO THE BATTERY. if not you need to get the ALARM TO SOUND, need to undo battery NEGATIVE and do the same as above. there is a knack to it. then this will work. THE SYSTEM IS LIKE THIS FOR SECURITY RESONS. gerry

You have to take it to a dealership. They have a computer that programs stuff like that. It usally costs $20 and only takes them 5 minutes.

I have a '93 jeep grand cherokee limited 5.2 v8.

Disconnecting your battery, as you must've done when changing the starter, will cause the ecu to revert to factory settings and the computer will have to relearn the proper idle for your jeep.

My 1995 jeep grand cherokee Laredo won't start, or

You might not believe this, but check your battery. Some of these vehicles have cut-outs when the battery level goes below a preset amount.
I work on Ford brands and on them, a low battery level will even disconnect the Alternator circuit and mess with the starter. Some even act up when the battery slightly dips below 12 volts.

Your antitheft can make your starter cut out. And If you think about it, all of the measurements to make the engine run are based on feedback of voltage and amperage. This is how the engine management system adjusts. If your prime source of power is low, then all of the following electrical readings will be low. Some may be too low to work.

Your fuelpump will hold pressure in a closed system for hours. The fuel pressure regulator will command the fuelpump to stop working if the fuel pressure is at maximum. Without responses from the other components and after satisfactory pressure, the fuelpump will turn off.

Jeep dont start do noting Lerado 93

check and see if you are getting spark. If you aren't getting spark, sounds like you might have a problem with the crank sensor. The car won't give you spark if you aren't getting a crank signal, oil pressure signal, and it will take a long time to start if you aren't getting a cam signal. If the car is getting spark contact me back and we will go from there. Hope this helps you

1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee Orvis 5.2L V8 will crank but not start.

Fuel delivery is influenced by engine temperature sensor. (sometimes a seperate unit from gauge sensor). Since you did not mention any performance problems after starting or on hot re-starts, that's where I'd look first!
