Starting issue
Hey all, my jeep just started having a problem with starting tonight, when i turn the key it makes the clicking sound like the battery is dead but battery has power, im thinking its the starter or starter solenoid. thanks in advance

Turn on the headlights and then crank it. If the headlights go out, it's a dead battery or connections. If you sure that end is good, then look to the starter.

Tap the starter with a piece of wood(so it won't spark if you hit the wires) and try starting after. If it's the starter the will usually let it start.
