Thanks a lot, man, this is THE SOLUTION for this problem! It even works on earlier JGC models. I had the same problem on a 2005 Laredo, several mechanics told me they didn't know how to fix, like "it could be the starter" (it's new), it could be the relay (it was not), "it could be a ground issue" (yes, it could, it was not), "it could be the computer" (definitely not, so basically hundreds of dollars for a 5-minute fix). I don't blame them, I had to figure out the issue by carefully tracking the electrical conductivity throughout the entire circuit. I recommend the following: 1) Safety first: if you work alone, DO NOT jack up the car, you can set the parking brake and safely crawl under the car, your back on the ground. Wear a hat in case you bump your head on the chassis. Always wear safety glasses. A flashlight helps. 2) Make sure to fully disconnect the little plug attached to the yellow/green command wire so you can expose the blade sticking out of the solenoid. Thoroughly clean up the blade with a metal brush, before reconnecting the plug. This will give you better contact. 3) You can also use dielectric grease or liquid like CRC "blue" to protect the contact from further corrosion. Finally, shame on Jeep for such a shoddy design in an area exposed to the elements!
My jeep did the exact thing yesterday. Tried your fix but nothing. Had battery checked, it was bad. Put new battery in and she cranked right up. Thank you.
@jairomtz5116, lo graste solucionar el problema? Yo tengo una grand cherokee laredo 2015, siempre que enciendo la camioneta despues de haberla dejado un parde horas sin usar batalla para encender. Pero una vez que enciende si la apagas y vuelves a encender no tiene problemas. Solo cuando pasan muchas horas hace eso
I'm sorry, I don't know exactly. I guess it's going to be totally different. The problem is not the year, but the engine size! But on the other hand, it is just the V6. Instead of V8, it also could be on the same side! You are going to need to do more research! You can do this . Good luck!
Well, thanks for the video but I don't believe this problem has anything to do with the solenoid terminal connection. In fact, you can clearly hear the solenoid/plunger click when you turn the ignition ON. That means the connection is perfectly fine. What's probably happening is that the secondary switch Inside the stater is either defective (damaged/worn contacts) OR the motor stator has an issue such as worn brushes or shorted coils. In this case, this problem may likely become random and it will depend on the position of the coil/brushes vs the rotor when it stops. If your lucky it will start, otherwise if you keep clicking that solenoid, this can create enough vibration to move things around slightly and re-align the brushes/coil over those that can create enough magnetic Flux and get it rolling, until the problem gets back. So.. the right way to fix it is to replace the starter assembly. I hope this helps.
Our car also wouldn't crank. We thought it was the battery so we jump started, it went from 13V to less than 8V. Then the car progressively lost power all the while flashing all the lights and notifications inside the car and the screen went blank. Did we just break the car?! 😰😰😰😰😰😰😰
Hello, did you check your battery? Check if your battery is good and provides good cranking amps. Also, check the starter relay and fuses. Check the wires that go to the starter to make sure they are not loose and are connected properly.
No, I don't think so. "CLICK", no crank, no start....... as the opposite will be "NO CLICK", crank and start! Somehow, you "lose", don't see, don't mention the "CLICK" - which is the first and the main word in this sentence! It explains the exact manufacturer with the starter!

I am very glad that it helps you!!! Very good reminders about safety!!! Thank you for the comment, and Good luck!!!
I had the same problem it didn't start I found this video and I tried it and then it started right now thank you very much friend
Are you still having problems tho? How many times have you had to do this since it first happened?
@@terpz47Yesterday I did it for the second time, the clip needs to be changed
@@terpz47It has nothing to do with the starter, just the clip
My jeep did the exact thing yesterday. Tried your fix but nothing. Had battery checked, it was bad. Put new battery in and she cranked right up. Thank you.
Yeah, I'm sorry I didn't say that in the video ! The battery is the first thing you need to check!
@@RedisN76no need to apologize, all good man.
Muchas gracias por el video hermano, tengo el mismo problema en mi Cherokee, saludos desde Mexico

Having the same issue, putting car on neutral was helping for a while
The main words here is " for a while" ;)) Thank you, but I did fix the issue. The problem is the starter!
Glad you posted the video with the clicking noise.
Would it be the same access on a 2020 jeep grand cherokee 4x4 3.6L

Same problem on my 1997 f 150 the little wire to starter
Ty bro , helped me out
I thought the same thing. That wasn't it. So, changed out the starter, that wasn't it. It seems to be in the ignition key switch.
Our car also wouldn't crank. We thought it was the battery so we jump started, it went from 13V to less than 8V. Then the car progressively lost power all the while flashing all the lights and notifications inside the car and the screen went blank. Did we just break the car?! 😰😰😰😰😰😰😰
I'm so sorry!!! It's been so crazy for the last 4 weeks with the holidays! I didn't see your message!!! Did you find the problem?!
I have a 2015 grand cherokee diesel using diesel for the engine. Has anyone had this problem and can help me? thanks
Hello, I am so sorry. I don't understand your question. Can you be specific about what the problem is?
I believe there is a TSB for the high pressure fuel pump, causing a no start issue.
I did that even change my starter and it still doing the same thing 😢

I got 2017 grand cherokee limited 3.6 found out mine was starter
CHECK YOUR GROUNDS!!!!
The light switch to turn on the lights is place weird on this jeep. When you’re tall your knee will just hit it in. I’ll never buy a jeep again
😵🤣🤣🤣
Q rollal
No crank no start…. As opposed to no crank, start?
No, I don't think so. "CLICK", no crank, no start....... as the opposite will be "NO CLICK", crank and start!
Somehow, you "lose", don't see, don't mention the "CLICK" - which is the first and the main word in this sentence! It explains the exact manufacturer with the starter!
