?Nothing is more frustrating than turning the key in the ignition of your Jeep® and having nothing happen. Before you start worrying about how much it's going to cost to get your car fixed at a Jeep service center, try to rule out these five causes first.
1. Out of Gas
The first thing you’ll want to do is remember the last time you bought gas. If you remember that you've been driving on low fuel for a while, you may need to refill your gas tank to start your engine.
2. Dead Battery
If lack of gas isn’t your issue, the next thing to think about is your battery. If you hear a clicking sound when you turn the key, this is a clear giveaway that you need a new battery. Fortunately, jumpstarting a battery will bring it back to life, and your Jeep vehicle should be good to go for a while.
3. Broken Starter
In order for your engine to start, the battery must send power to the starter. In other words, if your starter isn’t working properly or at all, you won’t be able to get your engine going.
4. Faulty Ignition Switch
The ignition switch is another vital element that has to be in good shape in order to get your car started. We can easily take a look at your vehicle's ignition components when you visit our dealership.
5. Clogged Fuel Filter
Your fuel filter is responsible for ensuring that gas can get to your engine. If it’s clogged, gas won’t be able to reach your engine, and you won’t be able to start your car.
