The 1994 Jeep Wrangler that will not start and is having the auto shutdown relay clicking, is having a problem with the auto shutdown relay switch. The switch needs to be replaced because this is what is stopping the vehicle from starting.
I am having the same situation... I recently took the cover off of my relay and held the switch closed and my jeep started.. I have not figured out what is causing it yet. I would love to know if anyone finds out. Thanks cremer42@adelphia.net
Fuse #5 under the hood is the Auto Shutdown Relay fuse and powertrain control module fuse. If its blown your jeep will not start it will just turn over until the battery dies.
i had similar problem with 99 wrangler and if its the relay its located in the fuse box.
Could be bad glow plugs.
Check the battery cables. If there is no corrosion and you have good connections, then the starter solenoid/relay may be at fault.
Sounds like the starter relay is going out.
Look for a loose or corroded battery cable connection or a faulty starter solenoid/relay switch.
solenoid or relay switch
if it does not turn over and no clicking noise but headlights on, check start fuse and relay if it doesnt turn over and clicks probable starter solenoid
Check wiring at starter Check battery cables for looseness or corrosion "Rap" starter with a hammer to see if brushes are stuck and need replacing Engine seized?
The starter solenoid/relay switch is going bad. Eventually, it will just click and not start.
The auto shutdown relay is controlled by the engine computer. You need to find out why it isn't actuating the relay. The first place to start is to check for codes. --->>> A relay is good or faulty, you cannot reset it, just replace it. An 1996 caravan has NOT ASD relay at all!
