so i went to go on my lunch break and i hit the starter and it just made a clicking noise i checked all connections and i even tapped the starter and still it won't turn I'm stuck at work and i don't wanna leave it here if anyone knows how to fix it on these cherokees real quick i would appreciate it!

 

sounds like a bad connection or dead battery. get a jump.

 

i got good juice and i checked my connection i will see what a jump does to it later

 

anyone have any ideas??????

 

If the jump start didn't work, do you have a spare piece of wire? Try jumping the solenoid from the battery.

 

is it possible that my starter is jammed into the flywheel and not letting it turn the motor thats what it sounds like when i try to start its it acted like it was not working properly when i starred it this morning and right when it started it made a loud clunk noise

 

some times when i would try to start it it would just free spin every now and then and not even turn the motor and i would have to wait for it to stop and then it would mesh right and fire right up but this was before today now I'm stuck

 

If you jumped the solenoid and it didn't start, I'd have to say the starter is bad.

Based on the "i started it this morning and right when it started it made a loud clunk noise " and "some times when i would try to start it it would just free spin every now and then and not even turn the motor", I would have to say the starter was getting bad and finally crapped the bed.

 

well i think your right I've tried everything I'm just gona go pick a new one up on my way home when i find a ride and come pick it up with the trailer later thanks for tyne help

 

Trailer? No way. Bring a socket set and a tarp... you can change the starter in just a few minutes and drive it home.

 

ya if i had some one else to drop me off at least with the trailer i won't have one of my trucks stuck at work and i live out in the country so its kinda far from home

i did find a ride home

 

How'd ya make out this evening?

Maybe stop and get a starter on the way to work tomorrow and change it on your lunch break?

 

By the time i got a ride home to the duelly it was already dark so i wen. And picked up the jeep and had not touched it yet becuase its 30 degrees out side and tonight was date night with my girlfriend but we tried on last time to start it and nothing i picked up a new starter so tomaro we shall see what it does
