2002 grand cherokee laredo 4x4 auto 4.7L.
The ole ladies jeep is having a starting issue, turn the key and everything gets power but no crank. I can hear the starter relay click once but nothing at all after that. Keep turning the key and eventually it cranks strongly like there's not a problem.
Took the starter to get tested, they said its passing but barely because the gear has the play in it but that shouldn't cause a no crank. Have a new starter but haven't put it in yet so a new one may fix this...
Battery is testing ok, fuses all test ok, swapped starter relay around with no change, no corrosion on the battery(cable may have some corrosion inside, I need to look further but I don't think that would cause the no crank like this).
I thought to check the Crank position sensor but I think that would cause no fire but it would still crank? I plan to check for voltage at the starter once the new one is in. A friend suggested the ignition key wiring as the problem but I assume since the starter relay is clicking that the key wiring is doing its job. I am leaning towards the wiring from the battery to starter, starter itself or sensor somewhere.
Anything to look for on these thats common, I am new to the Grands(we both love the v8 though :smootch: ).
