Haven't notice my jeep running rough or anything odd, but just went to move it and no cranky. Just a click and the electronic throttle control light stays lit up. What are my options and PLEASE say there is something besides "take it to the dealer" because its not under warranty any more

If its an auto, push forward on the shifter and give it a crank.

Did you try disconnecting the battery for 20 minutes or so just to see if you got a weird electrical glitch?

cheap and easy first; test battery at autozone. My last 08 did that, lights were plenty bright, etc...put charger on anyhow and still nothing. turns out battery had bad cell; enough juice for everything except to crank it.

It is an auto but that didn't do anything. Thanks anyway

I will try disconnecting battery and yea I was thinking about having the battery checked tomorrow before freaking out. Luckily I'm not stranded anywhere, I'm home

Clickity, click...looks like I'm going to autozone tomorrow. Thanks for the ideas

I had a battery cell go out on me with my 08 check and see if there's a batteries plus near by I got a good deal on mine bout 30 dollars less then autozone

I had the same thing happen to me. It would just click but wouldn't turn over. I had to take it to the dealer 4 times. They check everything. They change out the starter, battery, and coil in the trans.

It turn out to be ground problem. They added another ground cable from the engine to the nagative on your battery. Hope this help.

What year is yours? I have an 11 and it did this to me just last week at a friends house I have the dull batteries and everything I took the cable off the battery for a few then put it back on and jump started it it's been working fine since not sure what the deal was but since you said that about the grounding i know what I'm doing this weekend
