Why did you park it ? And what all did you fix to bring her back to life ?
Long story short, about 18 months ago I turned the key and nothing happened. It needed about $1,500 worth of work and after about 3 hours trying to fix it and just gave up. I have been driving what was supposed to be my wife's new Jeep since then. For whatever reason this weekend I just got an itch and started working on it again.
Back in the day, I tapped into the wires for the XM radio to use them for an Aux in for my cell phone. Evidently, a wire had worked it way loose back there and disabled the starter circuit. I'm guessing it has something to do with OnStar. Anyway, fixed the wire and it fired up like a champ. After half a day in the shop to get the rear axle bearing and seal assembly replaced and another $450 at AutoZone for front hubs and rotors and pads all around, she's like brand new...ish.
