Ok so I am posting this for a friend, I haven't looked at the car myself but this is what he said:
Sometimes after turning off the engine, and trying to turn it back on within a short amount of time (10-15 mins later) it wont start. The radio, ac, windows etc work though. There is no clicking of the ignigtion though when trying to start it
What is up with this? Maybe a bad starter ground???

Try starting it in neutral, My neutral park switch is messed up and causes the same symptom. Basicly the jeep wont let the starter fire unless its in park or neutral. For some reason mine dosent know its in park about 25% of the time. I thought it was a starter problem for a long time untill I figured it out. If that is the case there's a writeup somewhere online which tells how to clean the switch (its located on the pass side of the aw-4)
if that makes no differance i would take a look at if the starter is getting power when the ignition is turned. If it isnt its not the starter.
Good luck.

Nope it was doing it before just only once in a while, its just worse now. Eventually I may actually clean the thing or replace it but for now its not too much of an issue.
P.S. I am going to win the egg so I can try out some ox lockers.

Sounds like your starter/solenoid's going. Especially if its getting worse. Easy fix ;D

If it was the solinoid the starter motor should still spin should it not? It just wont engage the flywheel? I've seen it happen on other cars dont know if the jeep setup is the same or not?

Actually no. My solenoid just went 2 months ago all it did was click lightly. After jumping solenoid to starter <big screwdriver> jeep started. Replaced solenoid. Show'd wife what her "Man" can fix & I recall Magaritas & buffalo wings at local mexi eatery as my reward. Us ol chubby guys easy to please  |
