Overheating problem?

Those jeeps had a problem with the crankshaft sensor going bad. According to a reliability report= A periodic problem on this vehicle is failure of the Crankshaft Position (CKP) Sensor. Failure of the CKP Sensor will prevent the vehicle from starting. Add your engine size anytime you ask a question to get more precise answers.

What's the average lifespan of a car starter?

It depends on what it is doing exactly. Is it trying to fire at all? You usually start with the simplest things first. I would definitely look at the distributor cap and wires. You need to know whether it is a spark or fuel prob. Get a wire tester. Next check to see if it is getting fuel. Either way, it can get pretty complicated as you go down the line. Hope I at least gave you a direction to go in.

car interior light?

does the rotor turn when you crank it?are you getting gas?check the module.

How many different car part can be made out of a coffee can, duct tape, turkey baster, a wire hanger, twine?

I would definetely start with the Crankshaft Position Sensor if it is getting no spark. That is the key. If it is getting spark, then check fuel. Remember, for a basic engine to run, it needs air/fuel, spark, and compression.
