Starter Help
I have an 08 JKU. 134k. Installed new Alternator. Immediately upon startup starter will not disengage. Tried restart twice. Same result. Starter is original. Is a new starter needed as well now? Thanks for any advice.

So, what exactly do you mean by " Immediately upon startup starter will not disengage"?
Are you trying to say the starter keeps cranking the engine for a time after you let go of the key?
If so, that's normal behavior for a JK with automatic transmission. It's called Tip-Start. Blip the key over to the start position and the starter will crank until the engine starts, or up to 10 seconds if the engine fails to start.

I just joined, and reading this. I have a 07 I just bought (4dr 4wd automatic). Sometimes when I start it the starter stays engaged. Is that what you are talking about with the Tip-Start? No corrections needed.? Its normal.
