Took to car wash, was running fine. Stopped/started a couple more times that day, but then just stopped turning over at all. Fuses/relays all in good order. Took to shop, they couldn't start, but by the time they fulling outfitted the Jeep with instruments to track the fault it fired right up and continued to do so for another 12-15 restarts immediately after while in the shop. Will likely replace the starter in the near future. |
