Try putting it in neutral and recheck. Is there a security light flashing at the time of failure?
Are you getting power to the starter relay, and to the solenoid terminal?
Usually a bad starter will at least click. Check for battery cable corrosion at both ends of all the cables. Wiggle them, tighten them etc.
P.S. What the heck is a neophyte anyway??? Some kind of aphid??

Hi guys, having the same problem with my 96 cherokee and hoping for a little help. I sent a note to the original poster asking for his resolution and will share what I find out........ if anything.
Have to tell you as a women this is a very frustrating thing because my husband, boss and mechanic thought I was nuts when I first started explaining the problem to them! You know, got the dumb blond looks.....anyway, now I'd love to give them a solution to the problem that has them all scratching their heads!
Every once in a while I'd get in the truck to go.......and it wouldn't start. No starter click and full power to radio and such. Raised as a backyard mechanics daughter, I knew enough to put it in neutral and try to start it and......it DID! Woowho, so while I told all the guys about it.......since it would start, it never got much attention. This happened for several months. It never happened when it was cold, always once it had been driven for a bit.
Finally it stopped even starting in neutral..........but a couple times, it would start again after a few hours of sitting. Finally, after sitting for a couple of days........it still wouldn't start. Had it towed to the mechanics, and of course it started! He checked it out......and decided it was the neutral saftey switch......Had it back for a couple of hours and of course.......... running errands, it won't start again!
Darned frustrating!! Thanks in advance for any help! Cin
