Default Clicks when starting?

So i've been gone from my baby for 2 weeks, and i come home and help my brother start lifting his wrangler... (i get his old 31's ) and i see that since it's been sitting in the rain i should move it... well, when i start to turn the key, there's the normal chrysler buzzer... and when i go to start it, it just clicks. no crank.. just clicks. it's been starting slow ever since i got it and i guess this is the end result.. what is it? battery? starter? thanks!

Try tapping the starter with a hammer while turning the key. If it starts to turn over, it's your starter.

Easy to replace. 15-25 minute job.

If you can't be good, be good at it!
