I was installing a daystar switch panel and shifted the shifter to 1 (moved towards me for more space to install lower dash panel). Also moved the 4wd shifter back too. 08 jk started fine before this...now, when I try to start, it seems to have enough power, but I just get a click...click...click... Checked battery and iod fuse, disconnected the battery and hooked back up, still no start. The keyless entry still works. Thoughts?

 

Put it in neutral and see if it will start

 

Are all the dash lights coming on? Are you sure you have a good battery connection?

 

still sound like battery , test it

 

Tried this. No start. Just clicks.

 

Lights come on on the dash radio powers up and everything. Took the terminals off the battery and cleaned, replaced. No start.

 

yep i would say bad battery....take it out and take it to a local autozone or something like that they will load test it for you

good luck

 

Will test this next and report back. Thanks

 

I have an 08 and had the same issues. When I get the click I just run the gear selector all the way down and then back up into park and it starts up on the next try.

 

It was the battery. Had to let it sit and charge for a while being jumped. Gonna have to get a new one...about 5 years old. Appreciate all the help!
