Please help.
having an issue with my 08 JK with a manual.
When I stick the key in, the accessories turn on and everything, I wait for the red security light to turn off, but when I try to start, I don't get a click or anything.
The battery is good, and I changed the ignition switch.
I tried unplugging the battery. Tried smashing the starter, checked fuses, and am now a bit lost.

Thank you all in advance

 

Clutch needs to be pushed in. Maybe the sender for that is bad?

 

Was going to say it sounds like clutch/neutral safety switch not picking up the clutch is in. On a lark, you might try 2nd key to rule out the chip in the fob. I'm not a manual guy, but I believe that if you put it in 4Lo the safety switch is bypassed and it should start even if in gear without the clutch depressed. Someone might correct me on that, but it's worth a try. Obviously still depress the clutch, but at that point it's just so you're not in gear.

 

I tried with it both in 2wd with the clutch in, and 4lo.

 

HI, being a manual have you tried to push start and get it running? Have you jumped direct to the starter from the battery - be sure in Neutral.. Could do that and get to a shop. Sounds like you checked all the basics.. Grounds, connections on everything.

 

I haven't tried bump starting yet, but I also don't hear the fuel pump running when I turn the key

 

Keep us updated .. Really interested in your problem and started searching .. CAME Across this video..

 

I read about the WCM being an issue, and was wondering if that could be it, but I haven't found a way to test it. It's there anyway to troubleshoot, and prove, or rule out the WCM?

 

Search for uTube on this.. I saw 1 video on how to replace.. it surrounds the Ignition Switch..
