#1 of 9 2005 starter clicks but will not start by teberts Jun 01, 2009 (7:46 am)
My 2005 JGC has 25K and when I turn the key it clicks but does nto start. I tried jumping but that does not work and it seem to have plenty of power. I f I sit and turn the key 10 times it might turn over and start. Runs fine but this is getting worse. Battery cables are not corroded at all. All looks good. Please help as it is out of warranty.

Replying to: teberts (Jun 01, 2009 7:46 am) It could be a bad ignition coil.   tidester, host SUVs and Smart Shopper

Replying to: teberts (Jun 01, 2009 7:46 am) does the engine turn over when the starter clicks ? if not could be the starter solonide Replies to this message: teberts (Jun 01, 2009 11:11 am) tuggajb (Jun 01, 2009 3:30 pm) teberts (Jun 30, 2009 6:49 am)

Replying to: tuggajb (Jun 01, 2009 10:57 am) Sometimes. Usually just the click and nothing. Sometimes if I turn the key a few times it will then turnover and start right away and run fine. Replies to this message: tuggajb (Jun 01, 2009 3:30 pm) teberts (Jun 30, 2009 6:49 am)
#5 of 9 Anything besides the starter!?!? by surferboysc Jun 01, 2009 (2:35 pm)
my 2000 jeep grand cherokee limited V8 4wd just stopped starting yesterday. When i turn my key all i get is the "click" from the starter. I replaced the starter, and cleaned my battery terminals and still the same thing. What else could it be??

Replying to: teberts (Jun 01, 2009 11:11 am) could also be the starter relay in the elec box on the fender cover tell where the relay is if that is ok then starter solonide is bad and need to replace starter Replies to this message: teberts (Jun 30, 2009 6:49 am)

Replying to: tuggajb (Jun 01, 2009 3:30 pm) I am oretty sure it was the solenoid that caused my problem. The repair place said they had to install a complete starter and not just a solenoid. Not sure if that is true but it does run fine now. I did get the starter myself and saved $200 over what the repair shop wanted for the starter and I bought mine from a dealer! Works fine now.
