Help Jeep won't start!!!

Okay so here's the deal. I go to crank my jeep and when I turn the key to the on position everything works so the battery has juice but when I try and start it all it does is click and then everything is dead. After a little bit everything will start working again kind of like something has reset. Could this be a short somewhere? I just replaced my starter like 3 days ago so surely it is not that. Also the wire that went to the positive terminal and to my starter had some wire showing so I replaced that and still no luck. Is it possible that a fuse is blown or could it be computer related? Any help would be greatly appreciated. THANKS!!!

clean your cables an grounds at back of motor an firewall, also have your battery load tested at parts house

clean your contact on the battery side, and clean the negative.

and I mean CLEAN IT GOOD.

then your next bet is to clean the connections on the starter relay and then buy a new one.

it's not a big deal.

Might want to make sure that the starter you got is good. I remember putting a new one in back in NY and the one from the company was bad out of the box (not jeep but still a starter)... this sometimes also happens with alternators

when you clean your terminals use a cup with some baking soda and water in it,than dunk the terminals in there, it will make anything that looks like corrosion disappear
