Thank God somebody finally stated where the ground was that they cleaned for this particular fuse box and relay. I've been asking all over the comments. Do you happen to own a Cherokee or a Commander?

You sir are the man this video turned my 5 hour starter replacement into a 5 minute ground cleaning don't even bother replacing the wires that's all it needs starts like a charm at 170k miles in Northern Illinois

You Sir, are my hero! Just wish my son could have found your video prior to 3 days of head scratching and $200 in parts on a 2005 Liberty Renegade! Turns out about 35 cents worth of butt connector and wire did trick. You are THE MAN!

I went through and tested everything you did and when I tested that ground wire that was the problem...I spliced a new ground wire to a known good ground connection on the car...it started right up. Thanks bro! Saved me time and money.

You absolutely are the man, I love this platform and appreciate the people that take time to help out others that can't afford a $1000 to have your vehicle serviced.

Man… I have an appointment at the dealer to fix my intermittent click, no start problem on my Jeep Commander. I had already changed the starter. Then had the same problem. They were going to charge me $180 diagnostic… The service guy already speculated, “if you have already changed the starter, and the fuses and relays are fine, it might be the ECM or a problem with the Power Control Distribution Center.” I’m guessing I wouldn’t have gotten out of there for under $750. Thanks. Great work… and really good video!

Just got exactly the same issues... many thanks brother. Best wishes from the UK 👍

2009 Jeep Grand Cherokee, and this video saved me a ton of cash and time! I didn't have to cut any wires to ground it, but this put me on the track to fix a loose wire and worked like a charm!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank your!!! Had the exact same issue on my '07 for months now and this fixed the problem. Took me 1 hr. by simply jumping a new ground from the relay as you have shown. Was about to change out the ignition switch. Thanks YOU!!

Outstanding brother. I did it and the results are perfect. Just wish I would have found this video before I purchased and changed the starter. It worked on my 2006 Jeep Commander. Again THNX. Mac

It’s been awhile since this video came out but thank you that helped out my issue right way, very helpful video and str8 to the point

I have the twin to this Jeep, It even has the same air freshener on the same vent. Had to have it towed home the other day with the same problem that has been a off and on problem for a couple years now. Can't trust the old girl! I was planning to change the starter when time permits but now I'm going to test as you did. Thanks for the tip! It all makes sense now! Stand by for an update..........

Did it work?

Just check, clean and improve all chassis grounds relating to those areas. Should solve the problem for anyone viewing this. I do this on any older vehicle of mine. Battery to chassis, chassis to engine, ending to frame, engine to chassis, always check, clean, tighten those grounds. Or replace the wiring if they are suspect. Same on ANY motor vehicle, motorcycle, atv, ANYTHING.

This is exactly what's wrong with my brothers jeep thank you I'll do this for sure tomorrow when I have more daylight

Bro thank you you said yourself you were in a rush however thanks for making that video I have the same issue one night I try to turn key over and just clicks I'm like wtf was just working. Ended up working again until a few days later same thing. I'm gonna do as you did and will reply with the conclusion.

Thank you so much for this video! You saved me another expensive trip to the dealership. Worked perfectly for my 2006 Commander 4.7.

You are alright Man, I am dealing with exactly the same problem. Thanks a lot.

My 2008 Commander just did the same thing this past weekend. It worked fine in the morning then went to start it in the afternoon and just got clicking sound. I was going to make plans to repair it but will check the relay first. I have good voltage on my battery also.

Thank you - you are a good diagnosis & detective!!!

Thank u for this video if it wasn’t for me and my dad my brother would of spent alot of money on his jeep love the video! Hope it goes to more audiences that need this video 👍👍👍

Thank you to help, this video was really good for me, please could you to do a heat transmission video when pull a trailer; I have big problem. Thanks in advance.

Good job Cliff! Those leads and contacts under the fuse/relay box, are the problem with mine. Again, no ground, but the contact on the end of the ground wire was corroded, and not making a good electrical connection. Now it cranks, but doesn’t yet start, I suspect that there are other problems of the same type in that wiring of the box.

Thank you your video saved me from being stranded.

Great video, helpful. And no bs.

I was having the same exact problem on my 2009 Jeep Commander and it was the wires underneath the ones closest to the driver side it was a yellow wire I think it was part of the wiring harness good. But I cleaned it really good and all that and now it works just fine, and it did it multiple times like I probably had it happen to me 15 times

Hello, there is one shortcut path here, the (-) on the relay electromagnet is not always conected with GND, this signal is comming from powertrain control module, so your solution will work but you can also run the starter in cases when normaly you can't do this, i.e. in case enginee is running already.

Mean bro that worked 4 my jeep diesel thanks my bro

My issue was a small Clip/ spade connector which was loose attached to the starter , I had those exact symptoms. It was not the ignition switch , it was not a ground issue at the relay box .

good catch bro. that was a good troubleshooting procedure

This should of been a recall what a load of shi@

Saved us with one! Huge help Thank You!

Thank you brother! Definitely the same issue

I´ll check it out. Great Vid, Thanks a lot.

I tested the negative and it read full 12.85V Edit : the problem was the negative connector to the starter was loose at the starter i clipped it with pliers and no more problem

Best video! Thank you Gilford

I tried this and it don’t help and my dash now has no power any advice I have a 2000 jeep grand Cherokee limited

I'm having this issue and I just replaced the starter and it didn't solve my problem. This fix doesn't make sense though. If the relay clicks, then you have ground on pin 85 of the relay, and power from the ignition on pin 86. When those are activated, the relay closes the path between 30 (source power) and 87 (output). 87 of this relay goes to the spade connector on the starter. The thing about this fix is, all you did was connect pin 85 to ground, but if it was a good enough of a ground to click before the fix, then it was a strong enough ground... I'm not saying that Chrysler doesn't have terrible grounds all over the car, because they do. I just can't make sense of this fix. A relay doesn't click but not work unless it's broken...

Had the same problem - earth wire at bottom leading to starter motor attached to chassis need to be cleaned

Not sure if this is my problem but I may be returning the new starter I just bought.

This was not my problem however I didn’t have the best ground at the relay so i did leave this trick on my Jeep. Turned out I did have a bad ground but was at the starter the bolt was loose. However I did end up replacing the starter because it was a pain in the you know what to change so I put in a new one. Still this helped a lot thank You.

that fixed my Jeep Liberty Problem .... Bad Ground Mouse in the House

You can never have enough ground wires...they deteriorate...always check your ground wires...

Thanks your video saved me alot

Okay this is my problem, but I really need help. I disassembled the fuse box to get to the spark plugs and put everything back together and now my cars not starting saying service 4wd and service electric brake system. It’s not even turning over. So I think it’s the ground like you mentioned but it’s hookup up. :/

Great job thakns man god bless you

Yo gud shit bro! Thanks alot.

Weird, same problem same solution, must be a common jeep issue

Thx ther going tow mine hope fully that will work

Yes it helped me! Thank you!

I think you have bridged out the neutral start switch? Can you start the Jeep when it is in R and D now?

I just put front struts and upper arm and wheels back on and the 2006 Jeep-Grand Cherokee will not even light up the interior lights, dead as a door nail. 12volts on the battery not sure about amps.

Thank you so much.

good for you

I got one that does same thing let me save yawl some drama next time it does that put your foot on the gas pedal press down then turn key it will work 90 percentage of time if don't work try it again thank me later

The bad ASD (Auto Shut Down) relay will make it do the same thing

I am having the same click when trying to start. My ground and "always hot" are 12 volts. Back to square one lol

Thx chief!

I have the same problem on my 2010 sentra , I think it does not have a starter relay , it has an IPD module. It clicks , no start.

What if I’m getting no volts from the ground would that fix still fix my issue?

I had this issue w my 07 laredo I replaced my ignition switch ($40) and took me 30 min to install it and wala she starts right up!

Please help. I have 12 v in the second hole to the starter... ground is good 12v. Even the one to the ignition is good. But the first hole where u said it's always hot I'm not getting anything what could I do there? Would it be the red wire that connects to the starter because the wire under the relay hole is red.
