Default 2004 xB Wont Start..

Twice now my xB would not start at all. I would have lights and a fully charged battery. Last night I had it towed home only to wake up to it starting again. The symptoms are no cranking whats so ever. I have bypassed the relay and the ignition no luck.
My fuses are good and hard to believe that a starter would act this way. I have read that the park/neutral switch could be at fault. Has anyone had to deal with this and if so what where the symptoms. This thing is driving me crazy!

If you bypassed the starter relay with no luck then it can't be the park/neutral problem. Sounds like the starter is bad, you can knock on it with something heavy. That sometimes brings it back to life. Check the terminals on the batt and starter too.
Some diagnostic help: http://www.clubxb.com/forums/showthread.php?t=43038

Thx, did not know that the bypass eliminated the park neutral. Saves me some troubleshooting. Thinking the starter than. Thanks again

Check for loose ground or power cable connections and after that its the starter brushes.
