Jeep Wrangerl 2001 will not start every time. Gauges start to dance and go crazy. When I turn light switch on and off everything works fine. Went to Sears they checked battery said it was good, they do not think it is the alternator either.

well you need to find out if it is spark or fuel giving you the problem check for spark first they have problems with the crankshaft position sensor which could be the problem not easy to get to its bolted to the bell housing with 2 bolts if you do not have spark that would be a good place to start
sounds like a starter take a test light touch it to the smaller stud on the starter have someone turn the key to start the car the test light should light with the key if starter does not work its bad . if the light does not light then its the ignition switch on the steering column = no power to starter
i have 98 sport-has similar problem occassionally-not that often-may be moister in connections or computer-restart to be safe until lights register then check off
yes i can
look verycarfully at the battery terminals.
make sure the cable that goes in to the terminal is nice and tight in there.
if tighten it up or replace.the terminals should be nice clean and in good meety condition.not burt or cracked or old.start there and then check the other sides of the battery cables and make sure there tight at there locations .
let me know if this helps.
You likely have it repaired by now but it sounds like a classic case of oxidized battery or cable connection (sometimes mis-diagnosed as bad battery but cured with new (clean) battery)
Hmm, sounds like starter. Next time it will not start, don't hold the key for almost a minute. Try turning the key several times if no luck, grabb a hammer and LIGHTLY tap on starter. If it turns over normally then, starter is going out.
