Jeep Cherokee Not Starting Just Clicking

If there is no power then the electrical circuit supplying the motor has a fault.

Jeep cherokee not starting just clicking. This was last saturday. If you get one click from the engine compartment when turning the key to the start position that s sign that the starter drive gear has hit the flywheel but the starter motor itself isn t running to crank the engine. Until one day it just decided to not start again. Best answer mark helpful.

One quick thing you can try is tapping on the starter. When a starter goes bad the starter wont click at all it should be completely dead with no clicking. Got a jump started driving down the road and the check engine light came on. The clicking sound is made by the starter s solenoid which has enough battery life to move and make a click but the starter itself does not enough electricity to turn the motor.

Just make sure the engine isn t seized. I realized battery terminals and cables were corroded. But would not start. 4 people found this helpful.

Turn on the headlights then try to start the car if the headlights do not dim or go out then the battery is likely ok. Check the starter and solenoid. If the problem is a dead battery then this will charge it. Drove it straight to the dealership and waiting on what they say.

2016 jeep cherokee trailhawk left me stranded at the gas station after not starting. It would click but eventually would start. If the wiring looks ok then look at the starter solenoid for a good connection and proper voltage at the starter 10 volts minimum while cranking. Start your jeep and let it run for 5 minutes.

Drove all week to and from work just fine started everytime. Jeep won t start until a clicking sound comes from fuse box the click you hear is the fuel pump relay. Disconnect all cables in the opposite order that you connected them. Just picked it up from the damn shop last month too after being there for 7 weeks.

It sounds like you are hearing the starter solenoid clicking. Try giving her a jump doesn t work get. If there is no starter motor operation at all that is if there is no starter operation with the key held in the start position the procedure is to test for power to the starter motor. If it is one loud click then it s the starter if it is a series of clicks then it a voltage loss problem cables battery or other main power or grounding issues.

Replaced the terminals and cables she started up just fine. Would turn on all lights would work headlights etc. It gets its signal to energize from the pcm if you have a faulty crankshaft position sensor the pcm will not work.
