Description of the problem	Have a 2005 jeep grand cherokee limited. Issue is starter wiring harness is routed to close to the exhaust manifold. The wires have been melted by the heat. At times the jeep will not start do to one of the wires condition from the heat. If you drive thru a large water puddle it pulls the wire off the starter & jeep will not start. You can clearly see the connector is melted do to exhaust manifold heat. I have done a little research & many others have reported similar issues. The wiring damaged is not available for purchase. Also i am positive many people have been charged for a new starter when it is simply a wire connection issue. We have had this issue happen several times in the past 2 years. Only took it happening the second time & i figured out what the issue was. We to replaced the starter to find melted wiring loom going to starter. The issue still comes up from time to time. It is always the blade connection going to starter. Do to the melting of insulation on wires the connector has lost its ability to stay connected.
