Liberty will not turn over

I have had a similar problem. Turn the key and there is power, but nothing turns over. No clicking. No codes. If you wait 10 minutes you can sometimes get it started. I replaced the starter in the spring after it got really bad and that seemed to fix the problem for a few months. It's now getting worse again. If it is the starter, what can be killing them?

SOURCE: 2002 Jeep liberty headlights cut

the clicking your hearing is the relay trying to stay engaged, its heating up causing the relay to power down, which in turn you lose the lights, the heat is caused by the electrical current supplied to the replay, Not the outside temp , locate that relay and replace it, and your problem should be gone

2004 Jeep Liberty. No Start. Does anyone have any ideas?

That is a whole lot of issues that needs an auto electrician and a pro grade scan tool computer. We have a pro electrician here @Jeff Armer and hopefully he will chime in. Sounds like a communication issue with BCM and ECM which I think is combined into a TIPM.

If you disconnect the battery, you have to reset the anti-theft system.

If the battery is dead, the first thing to do is get your battery charger out and charge the batteries up. Nothing works without battery power.

2005 Jeep Liberty will not start no click no noise rather new battery. starts with jump but will not turn off even removed the key. replaced the power relay. still no start. newer battery.

Did you check the starter motor relay , location , under hood power distribution center ? When you turn the key to start the ignition switch sends a 12 volt input to the PCM / ECM - engine computer . The engine computer will then energize the starter motor relay . This is all computer controlled . Hooking up a scan tool to check for DTC'S - diagnostic trouble codes an viewing input data should be the first in diagnosing a problem like this .

2008 jeep liberty mileage error

You need to take it in to the dealer and have the code that is stored when it says error read with a scan tool. No the cluster will not need to be replaced, repaired maybe, but wait until the testing is done.

Take it to a different shop. Something is wrong with it. However, when the airbag light is on, that means the airbag will not deploy in an accident. You should have that fixed first. The dealership is the best option for making the keyless entry work. If this was at all helpful, please rate. Thanks for asking.

Jeep liberty 2002.....ignition key lock

Most commonly it is the key is worn out. If you have a spare key or your current one is not too badly worn, have a copy of it made and try it in the switch. You will have to have the copy key "coded" so it will disable the anti-theft system in order for the engine to start. If the new key doesn't fix your problem, you will have to replace the tumbler assembly.
