02 Won't Start
 

Hi All,
I have a 2002 Grand Cherokee, 4.7 V-8. Went to start it and only a small
click from under the hood. Jumping the battery was no joy.
First thing to check before I look for my manual?
Thanks
D

Re: 02 Won't Start- Addendum
 

All,
I did a voltage check across the two connections on the strarter solenoid
and have 12.5vdc with the key off. By looking in the manual, that should not
have voltage until the key is turned to the start position. Is that right? I
thought the negative side got it's ground through the engine starter relay
in the power distribution center.
I failed to clarify in my earlier post that I get no action from the starter
motor.
Thanks
D

My Wife's was put together without a lock washer on the positive battery
cable to the solenoid sitting on the starter. Back it off first to dislodge
whatever that stuff is that is made when electricity arcs, that doesn't
allow conductivity, then retighten.
