Default Jeep starting issue

I have a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee limited. My vehicle was working just fine last night. I woke up this morning to leave for church and my jeep wouldn't not start, crank or turn . None of the lights on dash or radio would turn on. I open the hood and started to hear a clicking noise by the fuse box. What is going on with my truck. Can someone please help me?

Clean your battery terminals, check for loose connections, might have a dead battery? Leave a door open or a map light on overnight?

Crazy question; After driving in the rain, why does the bottom of my WJ smell like a wet dog? Kinda that damp, musty smell. The only thing I can think of is water steaming out of wet brake pads. Thoughts?

Likely the carpet in front passenger area is wet and it holds that moisture for a long time. Have to pull up an edge of it to find out. Placing hands on top to feel for wetness will not work due to multiple layers of carpet and it also has vents for the rear seats running through carpet.
My WJ carpet was soaked when I got it. The fix was simple, add a piece of down-turned hose to the AC drain that exits firewall. The drain is just a stub that is horizontal. Water runs out the tube then along underside of tube and back into cab. I understand that this drain could also be for the cowl. So every time it rains, water intrudes. Once I attached a 5" piece of hose, have not had any water issues.

The only way to dry the carpet is to remove it. Mine smelled very bad, but once I cleaned and dried it with a wet-vac and shampoo there was no more odor.
Also, when carpet was wet and I turned on heat or AC to floor vents, the smell became much more noticeable.

No, this outside near the wheels, not inside. That I could have figured out. It's only an occasional whiff, not continuous. I've noticed the same smell for many years with certain cars when I worked at Valvoline and only after it rains and only underneath. I only noticed mine after I switched from ceramic pads to semi-metallic ones. It's not obnoxious, just interesting, and I could never figure out the source.

BTW, the carpets are dry.

Default 04 Grand Cherokee fan problem possibley

I have a 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee overland edition 4.7L high output.


after driving for about 20 minutes or so, when i come to a stop my fan kicks into high gear and my heat gauge goes up to right under the red line, about 250. as soon as i pump the gas the fan goes back to normal sounding for a moment and then goes back up and it stays at 250. when i start to drive it goes down to about 210 very quickly and my fan is back to sounding normal.

its idling normal, it just sounds like i have my foot stuck on the throttle when i come to a stop. i just replaced my radiator about a month ago, all my fluids are good, i pushed the fan with my hand and it goes freely no troubles. never had any problems with the jeep.


any suggestions would help, im at a stand still on where to start, thank you!
