Electrical problem
1998 Jeep Cherokee Four Wheel Drive Automatic v8 miles
----------------------------------------------------------------
Moved car this morning with no problem. When locking the doors with the switch on the door nothing happened. Tried to turn car on and nothing except a mild clicking under the radio or possible behind the glove compartment. Any ideas?

sounds like you lost a battery connection or your battery died. I would have the battery checked.

Is it possible the cables got loose shoehow? What accounts for the mild clicking I hear behind the radio or in the glove? Finally, I did see a light in the glove.

Thanks,

Bob

a circuit that is not complete with do weird things. Some lights and clicking may occur. Hook a battery charger up and see if everything is working ok. Can you better describe what is going on?
