By "nothing happens" do you mean the starter doesn't turn at all?
If the starter is not turning then use your jumper cables to connect your jeep directly to the starter motor. Negative goes to the engine frame near the starter, and the positive goes to the starter motor input terminal. Does the starter turn now? This bypasses any bad connections that might be in the wiring to the starter motor, both on the positive side and the ground return.
If the starter still doesn't turn, pull out the spark plug and try again. This makes the engine easier to turn, and also eliminates the possibility that the combustion chamber is filled with fluid.
If the starter still doesn't turn then pull out the starter and jump it outside the engine. If it still doesn't turn then the starter is bad.
