97 Wrangler will not turn over

[Walker0020]

Need some help. Jeep has a new ignition, starter and battery but when I hit the key I get one slight tick and it will not turn over. Sound is coming from under the drivers side dash and I’m not sure what to do. 1997 Jeep Wrangler manual with the 4 cyl. Video attached of the noise.

From this thread, I see this as a suggestion:

JUST A CLICK: Again, verify the voltages. The solenoid could have enough power to engage and feed current to the starter, but a loss of current in the ground/cable/battery could be causing the starter to not crank properly. If the voltages are fine, change the starter.​

Edit: PS, welcome to the forum!

You saying the motor does not crank over? First put a socket on the crank pulley and turn the motor over by hand to verify it is not locked up. Do you have a volt meter?

Things to start with:

• Battery
• Battery terminal connections
• Ignition switch (possibly)
