96 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo won't start
I have a 1996 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo that hasn't given me any problems
except minor stuff. It has about 344 thousand miles on it and when I bought I was prepared to have to replace the engine or the transmission. I was driving home and I heard a clicking noise coming from under the hood. So I stopped at a gas station and inspected it and put some water in the coolant tank. The noise subsided a bit once I put it in drive. But I get home and stopped the engine. I tried to start it up again and it wouldn't even make a noise. No starter click or anything. If anybody has any insight on what the problem may be please respond to . Thanks. -- Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/rec.autos.4x4/ More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.html |

96 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo won't start
I would start by checking if the battery still shows voltage, if it does
then I would be inspecting the main battery cables expecting to find a corroded connection hidden under a clamp or bolt on the other end. The clicking could have been relays coming on and off due to low power. There are a bunch of connections that can be suspect, the positive line at both ends and the ground, at the battery, block or body. Sometimes if you try it a few times, the bad connection will get hot so a careful feel of the main connections can find it.
