I purchased a 2005 5.7L WK back in November. About 3-4 weeks ago, I ran to the store one morning and when I came out, the Jeep would not start. I would not get any clicking noises at all. When I turned the key, there was no noise and the engine would not even try to turn over. I ended up calling a buddy for help and he showed up about an hour later. When he was pulling up, the Jeep just magically started as if nothing was wrong.
I had not had any issues since but this morning, I had the same problem. I get nothing when I turn the key. I tried all day but it will not turn over or even try to.
I have read there are issues with starters failing. Tomorrow I was going to call the stearlership to see if they have one in stock.
Is there anything else that might be causing the problem and not the starter? Is it usually the starter? For those that have had one fail, did it act similar to mine? Would it just up and quit working and not give any noise?
Thanks!
