2000 Jeep Cherokee sport

Replace the ignition switch.

if the other light is ok and the fuel gauge is only dead, may be you have no more fuel, try to refill fuel, if the battery is also dead replace new battery.

I would recommend that you check the starter relay. It is not uncommon for these to go out. It is an easy fix, and does not cost a lot either.

first off clean the battery terminals, then follow the ground wire to the body and engine ensure they have good connections. sometimes the wire on the back of the engine that goes to the body breaks. good luck

something is draning the battery.
it has to be the dash lights the dome lights or something being left in the cig lighters

or the lights arnt turning off after you close the door.
or an after market stereo was installed wrong and or the aftermarket amp.

keep me posted

your starter needs replacing not to hard of a job to do yourself

Bad starter or starter Solenoid. Grounded wire between the solenoid and battery or actually a bad battery. I've had batteries that were bad where everything worked until you went to start teh engine then it wouldn't turn over. There are 2 parts to the battery, 1 is voltage which runs the radio, windows, lights and such the other is Amperage which is needed to get the started to work. You can have good voltage but no amperage due to a dead cell. Disconnect the Negative battery terminal, connect jumper cables to a goo running vehicle, connect the positive cable to teh positive terminal and the negative clamp to the negative cable, this take your battery out of the loop, then try and start the vehicle. If the vehicle starts it's your battery if it doesn't then it is most likely your starter or Solenoid.

Check the connections at the battery. Be sure they're clean and tight.

Try putting the car in neutral and starting. If its a manual trans it might be the clutch pedal safety switch or it may be something as simple as a loose battery connection.

check the solenoid and the wires going to it
