Default Help! Multiple clicks, no start
I was installing a daystar switch panel and shifted the shifter to 1 (moved towards me for more space to install lower dash panel). Also moved the 4wd shifter back too. 08 jk started fine before this...now, when I try to start, it seems to have enough power, but I just get a click...click...click... Checked battery and iod fuse, disconnected the battery and hooked back up, still no start. The keyless entry still works. Thoughts?

Are all the dash lights coming on? Are you sure you have a good battery connection?

Lights come on on the dash radio powers up and everything. Took the terminals off the battery and cleaned, replaced. No start.

I have an 08 and had the same issues. When I get the click I just run the gear selector all the way down and then back up into park and it starts up on the next try.
