1996 Cherokee Country 4.0L automatic Won't start

A little background--this was a completely stock daily driver and ran perfectly until about 3 weeks ago at which it just QUIT while driving down my long driveway.
It has no fire.
no fuel pressure.
no power to operate my Snapon scanner.
The battery is good and cranks over just fine.(after installing a new starter)
The ASD relay and fuel pump relay are NOT getting a ground with turning the key on.
All fuses are good and the ASD and Fuel pump relay check out good and I've tried
Swapping with others and still NO success. I can manually ground the relays and they
will function.

Any Ideas????? PCM?? Ignition switch??


Question???? In this picture is a relay of some sort that gets pretty hot (128degrees)with the ignition on for a short time.
What's it function?
It's located and tapped to the wiring harness just above the knees. I removed the
tape for better access.
The color of the wires are- Pink
yellow/red stripe
yellow

Thanks for your help!

 

Have you checked all the ground wires? There are more than one ground wire and internal corrosion could be part of the problem. Inspect and confirm good connections from end-to-end for each ground wire: battery to frame, frame to engine block etc. Discovered this bad ground wire resulting in intermittent NO-starts and erratic charging and cancelled the tow truck in time.
