96 cherokee won't start PLEASE HELP!

I have a cherokee that has never given me any problems...at all, ever. The car started fine drove down the street and died like it had run out of gas. Immediately the voltage guage read about 10 volts. the car would not start or jump start. took the batterty out that night and at oreilly the battery was good, just slightly discharged. was towed to a shop. they had it 2 days and felt there was no power getting to the fuel pump. Had it towed today to the nearest jeep dealer they said my crank position sensor wasn't working, but the car wouldn't start. then they said my neutral safety switch was also bad. switched it out and it starts. all in all they want almost $500 to fix the car. i can't believe both those parts went bad at exactly the same time. Is this possible? Please explain how the neutral safety switch would affect this problem? could it still be a bad battery? please remember this car has never had any problems starting...in park. have never had to try neutral. i found this website, thankfully you guys really know your jeeps. please advise, julie
