It must have known that I was looking at fun stuff for it and decided to throw a curveball. Rookie question, but isn't the starter located in a real PITA location thats hard to get to? I had it replaced last year at the same shop that did the work for the key. So frustrating. Thanks for all the support!
lol yeah it's a bit of a PITA above the front driveshaft.
If it was replaced last year maybe it was mis-diagnosed and the wiring is the issue?? I've gotten XK's to start just by grabbing the harness and shaking it around; breaks enough corrosion free to get a good connection. Could be your starter was replaced but the harness was really the issue... and just the movement of the harness made it work for the past year.
Of course, electrical is NOT my strong suit. You shook the harness from the top or got under it and shook it?
I hope this ain't something to look forward to - my warranty expires in 79 miles... but the payments DON'T!

Shook the harness as close to the starter as i could reach. The corrosion is caused by water getting near the starter so the closer you can get to it, the better.
OK, back out with a flashlight and no clue I go!
Gave it a good shake and nothing. Blah. Could it possibly be alternator? I know it has at least 60K on it.Originally Posted by RyanD
Have you ever tried jumping the Jeep with another vehicle when you are having the issue with it not starting? If so and it starts up I would think the alternator could be part of the problem. Maybe it's not charging the battery?? Just trying to help out, honestly don't know what the issue could be
