Could be flat battery - check with a good meter, it should show at least 11.9 volts at rest. Check both terminals are clean and tight. Check ground wire where it's bolted to the frame for clean and tight.
A fully charged battery will read 12.6 volts with the engine off. At 75% charge it will read 12.4 volts, at 50% it will read 12.2 volts, & at 25% charge it will read 12 volts. Any less and the battery is basically dead. Must be checked with a digital volt meter.
most likely tha starter is bad or the power to the starter is bad
Bad fuel pump? Possible bad relay under driver side dash; third one back from front of dash; I had problem where engine would sometimes crank but not start and could not hear fuel pump energize when key was turned on.
mine does that to but only once or twice a year idk what is wrong with it but i know i have to replace the batery every time ! Save
First thing that I would do is check the battery. The clicking sound is the selenoid on the starter. Usually that means the starter is bad. Isn't very hard to replace. Hope this helped.
there could be loads of problems:-Fuel shortageC.D.I problem (Capacitive discharge ignition only)king lead damageair intake blockedchoke rongly adjustedring the AA or another motering organisation :P
may be a bad starter..... or if the engine is cranking with no start it could be the ignition wires
If the engine will not turn over, that is, sound like it is turning, then the trouble is a dead battery or really bad battery clamps. If the engine will not 'catch' and start running, then there are a number of causes, one of which is having no fuel.
Check for fuel and spark
If it cranks but doesnt start it could be your fuel pump relay or your fuel pump could be bad.
You mean a ticking sound while TRYING to start a jeep? If the jeep doesnt start and is making this noise then either it doesnt have enough amps to start or the starter is bad. You can have the battery tested for free at autozone. It could also be that your alterntor isn't charging the battery also.
battery
usually in any vehicle when the battery dies if you keep turning the key there will be a ticking sound and since the battery has no power left it wont turn over your engine therefor it not being able to start however if the battery is just fine you got me
the battery or the starter could be bad. the vats system could be activated. let me know.
The starter could be bad. Or the battery. The starter could be bad. Or the battery.
Check battery, charge it or change it. Dead battery.
Either the starter, starter relay or ignition switch are failing.
sounds like the fuel pump is out.
