Help! Please answer this one.. Jeep GC
 

99 Jeep Grand Cherokee Larado
2 wheel drive.

Got in my GC this afternoon to leave work this afternoon and the following
happened:
Inserted the key and attempted to start, GC did not even attempt to start, a
clicking sound started under the dashboard on
the drivers side by my left knee. Just CLICK CLICK CLICK on and on (I
removed the key from the ignition) still clicking
and while this is going on ALL the gauges (speed, rpm etc.. are pegging
out, back and forth non-stop!) I could not get it to stop, reinserted the
key, to start then accessories etc... still wouldn't stop. Called a tow
truck to (still clicking and gauges busy moving around!) take my GC to the
dealership.

Dealership won't be looking at it until tomorrow morning, the guy at the
dealership said it sounded like a dead/weak battery. I took him out show it
to him after the tow truck dropped it off, still clicking..... gauges still
busy!
He told me it looked like a dead/weak battery...(which BTW is not covered
under my extended warranty!) I told him at this rate the battery would be
dead in the morning....

Anyway .... Any ideas?? PLEASE post tonight!!

I sounds like a weak battery, that over heated the starter solenoid
causing to stick, or your case vibrate. Usually only lasts a total of a
minute or so before completely draining the battery then disconnects on
it's own. It should have melted the battery positive cable, too. And you
know it was strong enough to start it earlier, so you've got some
charging problems too.
