Could be the starter..
Try ---
( at the same time when turning the key to start )
give the starter a few whacks with a small hammer..
Takes 2 people..
If it turns - or turns slow - let me know..

Check the starter seolonoid, sometimes it clicks that way indicating worn contacts. Have it replace.

I had the same problem with a 1993 Cherokee Country. Powerful battery, everything else worked, but it would not start. If it sat overnight it would often start the next morning, but if I turned it off before the engine was fully warm. it would not budge. No jumping it off or anything. The problem? The Neutral Safety Switch. Once that was replaced, no more starting problems.

2000 jeep grand cherokee wont start...all i get is a click sound from the starter... wanna make sure it is the starter before i go replacing it...tried wiggling wires

Used a test light at starter, on small wire check for voltage while some one turn key to start.if you do have voltage there starter bad . Replace it. If you need to move truck tap starter with hammar while some one turn key to start.Remember you'll still need to replace starter.

Jeep wont start checked connection and fuses

Check the battery, it sounds like it's flat. Try charging the battery to see if it recovers, but if the battery is about 3 years old or more it is likely to have failed and replacement is the only viable solution.
