The Mud Pit > Wrenching
Another XJ down, not cranking stranded at work
kirksjeep:
Look for the BLACK plug (not the grey one being held);
Look for pin B and C on the same side and connect them together, this will bypass the NSS. You might get a code, but you'll know why. From what I have read all you need is a short peice of wire to make a jumper, after the Jeep starts, remove the jumper. Good Luck.

Yeah I tried wiring that black plug together (B and C) that didnt work so I turned the key nto on position, put the car in park ran some heavy guage wire from the positive battery terminal to touch to the green wire from the starter. Guess what she started right up. So my brain is wracked now, does this mean its still the NSS? or does it mean its the starter solenoid??? ???

the solenoid will be good, because it started. you have an issue from the key to the starter. you may also have a bad ignition switch. you have to back probe the system starting with the ignition switch. follow the wiring diagram and do one compnent at a time. looking for power going in and power coming out. that will isolate the bad component.

Looking at the wiring diagram and reading what Andy did, it sounds like he bypassed the starter soleniod, so it could be bad. Since he swaped it with the Fan Relay I would guess the soleniod is not the problem.
Andy did you check all the fuses? It looks like fuse 8 (60A- at the distro block under the hood), and Fuse 18 (15A- also probably under the hood) and Fuse 3.

the solenoid is mounted directly to the starter. the relay is a different piece. andy here is the right diagram for your 93.
