I am having my starter replaced on my 94 Jeep G Cherokee too. The nice tow guy helped me troubleshoot, finally banged on the starter while I cranked the engine and *voila* it was running.

The problem began when the engine wouldn't crank at all when I turned on the ignition. At first I thought it might have to do with the alarm system or the shifter so I tried grounding the battery cable to reset the alarm, did the turn left/right 2x trick on the driver side door and also the rear hatch. Nothing. Jiggled the shifter a bit because sometimes if it's not in Park properly, I've had the engine not fire up. Still nothing.

I thought it might be the battery, although usually if it's the battery you can hear the engine turn at least. When I was trying the ignition I'd get hardly any noise though, just deadness. The tow guy tried jumpstarting and said the battery was fine.

Then he banged on the starter with a wrench and that helped fire up the engine. I've taken my Jeep to an auto shop to get the starter replaced.

Sounds like you want to differentiate between problems with the starter, starter solenoid, and relay. Sorry, dunno about the last two. Good luck!
