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

Julie,
I have a 1990 Jeep Cherokee, 4x4, 4.0L . I don't know how much difference there is in the engine and electricals on the older models, but mine is doing the exact same thing. I had the crank sensor replaced, no good, also deactivated the nuetral safety switch. My fuel pump wouldn't come on, had no spark, and sometimes even the engine wouldn't turn over. A buddy that works for a shop came out and replaced two relays on the truck, and it started right up. No clue if this will help, but I thought I'd throw that info out there...
