Hello my 1996 jeep cherokee won't start... I turn the key and it does nothing the lights/radio comes on... we checked the fuzes and when we tried to change them it kept blowing the new fuzes out... any ideas??

Tough to know for sure without being there to look it over but you'll want to make sure there isn't a short in the starter or the wires to the starter. I don't want to make you spend the money but I have seen this before and it "usually" winds up to be a bad starter.

Thank you so much for your sugesstion it turned out being the starter and the wire.. thank you very smart

I spent 15 years as an auto tech... I'm glad I could help you out.

Maybe your expertise can help me:
I have a 1999 Jeep Cherokee that will not start.  Sometimes, I turn the key and it starts just fine, other times it will not fully start.  I turn the key and the engine will groan but not start, I try lightly stepping on the gas at the same time and nothing will happen.  I do hear the fuel pump turn on, it has had a new distributor, and ecu installed.  The starter does not click, sounds fine.  I took it to the jeep dealership and the ran a diagnostic, no codes were in the computer and of course it started every time for them.  Any other suggestions or thoughts would be greatly appreciated!

. Remove and fully charge the battery. Afterwards, check for any bad cells. If you need a new battery, charge it prior to installation.

. Install new spark plugs (Champion only), if they have not been replaced in 3 years.

. Install a new coil.

. Install a new Crankshaft Position Sensor.

. Check the ignition switch for wear, pitting, or melting.
