Default Jeep wont start
I got into a small fender bender this morning where I read ended a little Honda and after getting all the insurance info my jeep wouldn't start. My lights come on and windows work and everything but it won't crank at all with the key I was able to arc it at the starter with my knife and the engine would turn over but not catch. I have no idea what it could be any one got any ideas?

Try disconnecting the battery for about 10 minutes. See what happens.

No CEL or alarm indicator? I would start checking fuses. If you have a key fob I would lock and unlock the doors with it as well.

The alarm indicator is working and unlocking and locking it with the fob works as well. I think it just the starter is out but I don't know how that could happen going 2mph
