I turn the key, the ignition makes its clicking noise, the dash lights light up but 2007 Jeep Liberty Sport does not start up. Is it the battery or starter ? or something else. . . ? I found the positive cable connect (the thing on top the battery) buried with greenish fluid/paste, so I wiped all that off got rid of any hard corrosion and still no start. Nice click and my door locks work beautifully but no vroom. I want vroom :D
Any ideas ? Thank you
It is an issue in the steering column. I am getting my 2005 back today, finally. 2 mechanics and they said they have never seen this issue before!!
The steering wheel has to be pulled off and the part replaced. It is cutting all power to the ignition switch. It is not the starter or the Alternator... it is in the steering column. It should be about 200.00 to fix.

Try to jump start, if it starts change battery and chk alternater,second if it doesnot crank at all making clickin noise change starter it will solve your problem
I must also report a silly solution...are you using the spare key? My dealer gave me a spare key and I tried to use it and found that it only opens the door
If the car clicks it might be the starter. But sometimes on Chrysler/Jeep if the car doesn't have enough voltage it will do that too. Try to get the battery tested first.

i am about to get my car back from the shop. Took 3 days and 2 mechanics to find it. It is a broken compenent in the steering column that cuts all power to the ignition. it is a 200.00 job and is not covered under warrantee. I am writing a letter to Jeep. The mechanic said he has never seen this issue before but apparently my 2005 jeep and yours have the same issue.
I have the same problem right now OUCH 200.00 and not covered in the warranty? My husband just took my battery to be tested, but now I guess it will come back that it is not the battery.
What component was broke? Was it a wire?
