it's not supose to startin drive, what kind of question is that

*

It is possible that you meant Park, and not Drive. If this is the case, your shift linkage may be in need of adjustment as the vehicle may not be registering that it is out of reverse,and therefore not allow it to start. Try lifting the shift lever while you try to start the vehicle. if this works, you may just need a little adjustment, or some new bushings in the linkage possible bad neutral switch

Why does my jeep Cherokee slip out of 4 wheel drive into neutral while driving?

Hello...Mine is doing the same thing!...and I am on my way to get it looked at. I thought I would look online to see if it was happening to anyone else? I remember having a recall done where they changed the gear shift to not go from park to drive. I guess it was a safety issue?..anyway since that recall change my gear shift has always felt "SLOPPY" I am wondering if anyone else is noticing a problem with their drive slipping into neutral occassionally? Please write back if anyone else is having this problem. Thank you.

What causes intermittent continuity between ground and neutral?

Answer for USA, Canada and countries running a 60 Hz supply service.When installed properly, there should always be continuity between ground and neutral because they are bonded together at the service. If continuity is intermittent, something is loose. I would start by checking your bond in the service panelAs always, if you are in doubt about what to do, the best advice anyone should give you is to call a licensed electrician to advise what work is needed.Before you do any work yourself,on electrical circuits, equipment or appliances,always use a test meter to ensure the circuit is, in fact, de-energized.IF YOU ARE NOT ALREADY SURE YOU CAN DO THIS JOBSAFELY AND COMPETENTLYREFER THIS WORK TO QUALIFIED PROFESSIONALS.
