Some Jeep Grand Cherokee owners report experiencing intermittent starting issues characterized by a clicking sound when turning the key. A weak battery is often cited as a common cause, providing just enough charge to activate the solenoid but failing to engage the starter. Additionally, some owners note that a faulty starter may produce a clunk rather than a click. Intermittent issues with the push button starter, particularly in colder temperatures, have also been reported, leading to repeated clicking with each press. Furthermore, loose or corroded connections at the battery and starter motor can exacerbate these starting problems. It is recommended for owners facing these issues to check the battery, starter, and their connections to effectively troubleshoot the problem.
