Pulled up to the mail box last Wed. got back in Jeep to go click was all she did...Replaced the starter relay still no crank even replaced the battery...All you hear is the starter relay clicking..Lights do not dim when you turn the key..Tried using a screwdriver on the starter to crank no go...the cap on the end of the cylanoid on top of the starter is loose..Help is this my starter? The starter is 4yrs old and I have a Limited lifetime warranty on it..Just not sure its the problem... :banghead:
