Put in new battery, something inside starts clicking without even putting the key in

Asked by Guru5CQJ9 Jan 12, 2018 at 12:42 PM about the 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee, one of 2
vehicles.  The rear drive shaft broke, so I parked it,
took battery out for other car.  I just put battery
back into the Jeep to drive to my neighbors (giving
him the car).  When I hook up battery, something
starts rapidly clicking.  This is without even getting
in the car.  When I put key in and turn, clicking
stops but nothing happens.  What would cause
clicking just hooking up battery?

Bought a 2004 jeep grand cherokee with 109,000 miles on it. Everything worked and ran great on test drive. After driving it 3 times over a week the battery died. It was a newer battery and checked out fine. Put a new alternator in still would not always start. Put a new starter in ran for two day and now will not start again. Short somewhere? Where to start looking. Does have an aftermarket remote starter hooked up, have not used that yet. 1 Answer
