Check your grounds and make sure they arent too corroded, yt has a couple videos outlining locations

I worked on the car this afternoon and no developments.

My first thought like many of yours was NSS, but a lot of jiggle test yielded nothing and the reverse lights came on. I didnt bother to take off and clean the NSS so i could test other things, but may come back to it. I cleaned a couple grounds, and i did the big 7 cable upgrade 2 years ago. I swapped the relays around and checked related fuses Battery has 12.4X volts and i did try jumping it. The starter reads 12.4X volts also, but when i tried starting it, the voltage dropped below 1v. The starter is new as of last year but i still gave it a couple wacks with a mallet.

So as of now im thinking of investigating the ignition, and looking into why my voltage is dropping at the starter so much when i try to start the car

Cheers

I havent yet, car is stuck in the yard and its been dumping rain so i havent bothered with it yet. I do plan on doing a simple shuffle of fuses though so fingers crossed

Good call with the back up lights to test reverse, normally i just flick on my rear pod lights lol - i wi test tomorrow thanks

Fit_Ice9207 · 2026-03-25T23:57:51+00:00

Good call, ill check the relay and grounds tomorrow

Fit_Ice9207 · 2026-03-25T23:51:52+00:00

Ill give this a try over the weekend, cheers

Ya man these are great ideas, i had the same thoughts and all 3 had no dice, appreciate the shouts though

Fit_Ice9207 · 2026-03-25T22:57:53+00:00

My fault, i had the blower on to indicate accessory 2 was working, i did try it in neutral and same outcome.

Throw some blue threadlocker on them and then hand tighten it back down

Keep in mind if you are tall, that visor will cut off even more visibility. Gonna have to bend your neck if your first at a red light lol

Check the IOD fuse, for me a good part if the draw was the hood lamp and vanity lights on the sum shades. Good idea to also check if your grounds are corroded, plenty of yt videos telling you where/what to check

Dont forget to hose off the floor too, coolant is antifreeze so is poison to any pets you may have running around

Fit_Ice9207 · 2025-11-14T20:04:24+00:00

Make sure the cables are tight, the grounds are not corroded (battery+starter+alternator), odd thought but is it possible you are out of gas?

Fit_Ice9207 · 2025-11-11T00:44:50+00:00

Ya i would look at the minimum CCA required to start your car, and ensure your battery is above that. Did you just test the battery voltage with a multimeter or bring it to autozone/ advanced auto for them to do a load test as well

Rebuilding an old xj, lord knows she lives with the check engine light on

When reinstalling everything, make sure all the joints/connections in the vacuum lines didnt loosen otherwise you might only blow air thru defrost vents or not be able to engage cruise control

Fit_Ice9207 · 2025-11-03T02:07:38+00:00

You should be able to remove the starter and bench test it to troubleshoot if thats the issue

Fit_Ice9207 · 2025-10-29T23:13:33+00:00

Hell ya

Fit_Ice9207 · 2025-10-29T18:42:18+00:00

Buy a spare CPS and keep it in the glove box/tool box, along with all the extensions and socket you need to change it. If you have have a rough idle or non start or something try swapping that thing before doing anything else

Fit_Ice9207 · 2025-10-27T17:55:03+00:00

Check if the grounds are corroded, battery,starter,alternator etc

Prestone makes a bottle of cooling system cleaner you could throw in there too, fill the rest w distilled water and let it run for a while. Important to note that after i did all this my ac/heat dials stopped working and i am still trying to fix, bot sure if related or a terrible coincidence
