I just bought a 1997 jeep grand cherokee sometimes when i turn the key it won't start but after turning the wheel it starts
What is your question?
When i turn the key i hear a really low clicking sound not from the battery post.
I'm not sure where it's coming from.
But after turning the wheel from left to right for a while it starts right up.
What makes this problem better or worse?
Turning the wheel left to right
