08 Rubicon won't start
Just drove the Jeep 2 hr's before and now it won't start. Depressed the clutch, turned the key and got nothing. The interior lights and instrument panel are strong and there's no clicking like a dead battery. Any ideas? Thx, Mike

sounds like your starter go under the jeep bang on it a little then try starting it
|
Also just for the heck of it try the other key, I have seen chips go bad in the smart keys.
|
A good idea anytime there is any problem is to take the negative battery cable off for a few minutes then put it back on, this basically reboots the computer. That way you can eliminate that out of the realm of possibilities.

This happened to me once and it was the sentry system.
|
This happened to me and i shook the jeep like some said to do on the forum and it started up....if its manual shake your whole jeep a couple of times and it will fire up.
|
sometimes my sentry key acts up and prevents my jeep from turning over. usually just pull the key out and reinsert and works fine..

had this happen to me also after the jeep sat there for 3 days just a click click , tried boosting it (btw have a optima blue top in there) and still no dice. went under here and banged on the starter a couple of times and she turned over. now after this being my third time once with oem battery twice with my blue top it must be the starter that is the problem either bad contacts or bad wires but only cause the winch works , lights work |
