Doesn't even crank. Jump start won't work. Voltage meter on the
dashboard displays normal voltage (12+). Hasn't happened before.
Is it because of bad starter?

Code 12 could mean the battery was recently disconnected:
http://minimopar.knizefamily.net/fault/code12.html So, first check and clean
all your connections. Then determine if you can hear the starter solenoid
click making it's connect, if not that could be your problem. A Real batter
tester would read at least thirteen volts, and an alternator charging at
least thirteen and a half volts.

Rarely is that the case. More likely the voltage isnt getting to the
starter solenoid. Tried the old Sears screwdriver trick across the
solenoid?

Code 12 isn't very important unless it's surround by a bunch of others.

No crank usually indicates a dead starter solinoid (think big *** relay)
But it can indicate a bad neutral safety switch, try starting in N.
Also in line is the starter relay, swap with the AC or Fog relay

I only have the 93ZJ book, the electrics should be similar.
