Engine only starts in 4wd low
2012 Sahara standard transmission
Had issue last year where engine wouldn’t turnover. Panel would light up, but no crank. I disconnected battery, pulled fuse…no luck. Finally found a post after 4 days with workaround solution.
Put it in 4 low, and it fired right up. Seemed to be a security system lock down.
Didn’t happen again for 6 months. Now it happens every other day. Changed battery in my key…didn’t help. Been starting in neutral, as many posts have suggested, but I have the same problem with sporadic no starts.
Could it be the TIPM going bad?
