I have a 2001 Jeep Grande Cherokee Laredo that will not turn over once the engine has been at running temp. Must wait 20 to 30 minutes before it will turn over. Replaced the starter and the starter relay and still have the same problem.

I get nothing, no noise what so ever. All the lights in the dash come on but when I turn the key nothing happens. 20 or 30 minutes later it fires right up like nothing is wrong.

Doesnt make any sense that it only does it when the engine is at running temp. I have been watching it over the past two days and have noticed that it will crank just fine once the temp goes down to about 180.
