Ok I started my jeep up and then shut it off and when I went to start it back up it would not start it kinda makes a loud clicking sound so I got a new starter thinkin that that was the problem and went to start it and its the same thing. DOES ANY ONE HAVE ANY IDEA WHAT IT COULD BE???

Is it a continuous clicking sound when you have the key engaged to start it?
If so, clean your BATT terminals, and make sure the BATT is fully charged. If you want to be sure, Pull it and head to the local parts store and have them double check/charge it, then do a load test on it. If that's ok, could be the starter, esp. since it's clicking, but that sounds more like a battery about to head south...
