today my jeep quit running while we were messing around in a bit of mud..hit a deep rut in the puddle and the jeep cut out immediately...to my knowledge i didnt hit the air intake..praying it didnt. but it was not deeep enough for that. when u try to turn it on, it clicks..thats it. what do i do??!

urgent bump

Clicking? Try power related issues? or Starter issues? Battery, cabling, starter, altenator(although would cause not start), fuses, etc.

check the air box. see if there is any mud or water in it. if there is its possible u got water in the engine.

idk too much about newer cars but on my old dodge i used to nock my nutral saftey switch got loose and that could cause it not to start. i think is on top of the tranny, not sure.

its weird it just cut out, but that happened to scott07's jeep in the water and it click he waited five and then it started.

try to arch the starter that way it will run and u can get it to a shop.

sorry im not much help, but im not used to newer cars and all of there computers .

yeah spark plugs arent going to help you, DID YOU OPEN THE AIR BOX AND CHECK FOR WATER??????? check the filter see if its wet.....if the started is just clicking you may have got mud in it how thick/deep was the mud...you could try hittng the starter with a hammer a few times then crank it again, thats if you didnt get water in it.
