Jeep Cherokee Not Starting Just Clicking

I realized battery terminals and cables were corroded.

Jeep cherokee not starting just clicking. Replaced the terminals and cables she started up just fine. 4 people found this helpful. Until one day it just decided to not start again. Start your jeep and let it run for 5 minutes.

Disconnect all cables in the opposite order that you connected them. But would not start. Would turn on all lights would work headlights etc. If the problem is a dead battery then this will charge it.

Do not start the car that has the live battery. When a starter goes bad the starter wont click at all it should be completely dead with no clicking. One quick thing you can try is tapping on the starter. It gets its signal to energize from the pcm if you have a faulty crankshaft position sensor the pcm will not work.

Just picked it up from the damn shop last month too after being there for 7 weeks. Jeep won t start until a clicking sound comes from fuse box the click you hear is the fuel pump relay. 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. It would click but eventually would start.

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. 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. Got a jump started driving down the road and the check engine light came on. This was last saturday.

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. Try giving her a jump doesn t work get. Just make sure the engine isn t seized. 2016 jeep cherokee trailhawk left me stranded at the gas station after not starting.

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. Stop at the store tonight she clicks but won t start. Check the starter and solenoid. This seams to be a common problem with the wk but i was always told that if it clicks its the battery or corrosion on a connection on the battery from a loose wire or corrosion.

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. It sounds like you are hearing the starter solenoid clicking. Drove all week to and from work just fine started everytime.
