Vehicle will not start

Fuel filter or fuel pump

the key your using is it programed with the start chip if they do not match up it wil not turn over . no2 it could be your ignition it self .

I have a Jeep liberty 2007 and I just had the same problem two day ago the car would not start, no crank the light came on, the radio I though it would be the battery. but it was not the battery. I had it towed to the mechanic shop, it was an electrical problem, the steering column, what ever that is it cost me $1400 total $300. in labor and the parts was $1100 hundred I am still in shock ,I don't know if the mechanic rip me off or what, it just happened no warning i still can't believe jeep sell part for $1100. but the car is okay now,thank good I had the money, I just started a new job and I needed the transportation

In the steering column where the key gose in below that t here is an acuater switch which when the key is inserted makers contact the jeep will start. The mechanic riped you off. I had the same problem I looked up the electrical digram and traced it to the acuater switch All the best to all of you with this problem. L B Hollywood flI

I have a question about my Jeep Liberty my battery nun wrong or my starter or alternator are good but when I turn the key it don’t turn on the light don’t work what could it be

Wiggle the power wire going nto the starter. Wire clip / harness is loose and causs intermitent failure.

my problem was not any of those .. bypassed the starter relay and starter whirls over jeep wont crank or stay running when use the key... note i dont know if the key has a chip in it to make it start but i do know that remote door lock/unlock, panic switch and trunk have not worked for 6 months even after key battery replacement I do know that there are 4 plus relays in series powered to make this thing start #1 ASD relay #2 run relay 1 #3 run relay 2 and #4 the starter relay i am pulling my hair out trying to get this fixed

Same problem with my jeep at this moment any suggestions?

Am having the same problem! But am taking mine for a diagnosis to prevent fixing what need not fixing and beeing a ripped victim. Lol...

Crystal005...... What exactly going on?

I’m having an issue that everything seems to be in order, it just won’t crank. There is a key light on with the circle and slash through it that I have never seen before. Any suggestions?

MY Jeep Liberty won't. I have power inside with out the key being turned on. When I turn the key I don't feel anything and nothing happens. I turn the key off and the radio, HEATER and other things STAY on, Why?

My jeep literally I shut it off went out like an lil bit later and it shows anti theft and won't start so I towed it home now it turn over but just will not fire off for some reason any idea?

My 2008 Jeep Liberty want start or crank and don’t nothing cut on when I use the switch ‍♂️ I need suggestions

Do not buy ANY Chrysler/Jeep vehicle manufactured after 2000. Nothing but junk and endless troubles. YW

New alternator, crankshaft and camshaft sensor, ads relay, spark plugs, coils, starter, fuel filter, and fuel pump. Now my 2002 Jeep liberty will crank but not start (turn over). I'm now stumped!? Please help!!

Wireless control module.

Thanks I'll try that if the pcm that just ordered doesn't work. I'm praying it will start

If the a.c. compressor locks up will it keep the vehicle from starting up

Hi! I had this issue whit my Jeep Liberty 2005, I Turned On, with the Key but the engine does´t work and the lighs was ok. Therefore I called to Mechanical service and the root cause was falling the STARTER MOTOR, was downfall; and then the mechanical man gave maintenance service, now is OK. I will need to replacement this spare part. Regards.

I usually disconnect the positive terminal, wait ten minutes. Reconnect, put key to on watch the lights come up, wait till the red light shuts off ( the anti theft indicator) if it doesn't shut off I hit the lock button on the fob while in the ignition, usually syncs the fob to the anti crap device. Then starts up normal

I am having the same issue on my 2009 Jeep Liberty battery alternator good, but will not turn over, lights all work interior but when I try to use my remote it does not work. I'm a single mom with a little mechanical knowledge and an even smaller pocketbook.

Had this happened today,battery fine,actuator fine,crawled underneath and the heat shield for the exhaust was touching the starter,bent it out of the way and car started right off.

Guru112ps, you have no room to talk. There's a difference between mechanical and electrical, if you have no valuable input, dont post. I'm having the same issues. I checked ignition switch/actuator, ALL fuses and relays, all good, wcm working fine, ive checked everything on the ignition loop, and no go. I've narrowed it down to two things, it could either be the neutral safety switch, or the starter itself. I doubt it's the starter but I'll check anyway.

I'm having the exact same problem with my 03 liberty. Jumped the starter it turns over the moter but will not start. Could it be security? Or is it nuetral safety switch??

Could someone help me to get Electrical digram of jeep cherokee liberty 2012?

Just had the same problem on a 2006 Jeep liberty. It sat for a month or two and went out the starter would not crank over lights work radio work lights everything worked. Ended up being the fuse box under the hood got corroded you need to clean the fuse box started right up. Ended up costing me 150 bucks for the guy that help me fix it.

Definitely could be neutral safety switch, 2012 Jeep Liberty, all working electronics with no crank, moved gear shift through all gears a few times, had intermittent cranking and flashing lights, moved shifter again a few times, started right up, cant replicate problem as of now

What that mean when I gotta start 3 time for my Jeep Liberty to start

Hi I have 2010 jeep liberty all lights come on started up ran for a half of a second and cut off. Thought it was the staryer so Ireplaced the starter. Did the same thing was told to try my other key and it started with no problem must be a bad sensor in that first key fob haven't checked that out yet still starting and working with the second key fob hope this helps .

I have a 2004 jeep liberty that was in a small accident the air bag went off and I put it back together now the car wont start when I turn the key all power goes dead including lights then when I turn the key to off the power comes back on what could be wrong power in battery is fully charged test Leads show power leaving the battery when key is turned but it nothing on power in the vehicle

Friend has 09 liberty and he’s changed the starter pig tail ignition switch and now the wind module and the Jeep will start when cold but when it gets hot has to wait to start ,,could it be reset button ,,lights come on just turn key and clicks

There is an ignition switch pin in the steering column that tends to break.... It is between the key switch and the ignition module on the other side...Napa part# 620- 1414 for my 03 liberty.

How can I start my Jeep liberty 2006 when the security red light is on and it will not go off

Dale Patric Mcgonagle ,Fellow Jeep liberty owner. I had to have a computer tech reset my computer. I'm trying to find his phone number now... He runs all over Florida and is honest and fair priced. Came to Tampa and got my Jeep running with major computer issues for a couple of hundred bucks.

The tech I used travels all over by appointment. A friend recommended him to me on F.B. When I needed my computer programmed as I replaced a module that ran a lot of stuff.

Ok my jeep liberty 2005 when I insert the key the lights come on but there is no check engine light and the engine doesn't start I tried getting a new computer for the car and nothing it's not the battery, alternator, and starter

When a computer module went in my 04 it took part of the fuse center located inside the door with it. The module had to be reprogrammed and I had to replace the fuse panel as well.Andy at Jeep diagnosis came to my home and did the necessary programming. 352-263-9102 This is a Florida phone number. The man was honest and fair priced as well as very thorough.

Help same issue, 2006 jeep liberty crd. Starts when jumped but I can drive an hour turn it off and it won't start. Jump it and it's fine. Had it in the dealership, they tested the battery and the alternator, both fine. Every once in a while when I'm driving g my battery light will turn on and my glo plug light will flash..

Same problem with mine, i have changed the key switch, contacts on end of key switch. I get the signal to the relay to start, but have no ground... Brought unit to shop, put computer on it. Said everything was good on that side, must be back pcm, Just installed new pcm, same problem, Out of ideas...

crawfishjp, Look at my earlier comment and call Andy@jeep diagnostics. The guy is honest and straight forward. If you're in Florida he will come to you. He's been known to travel out of Florida too.

Did you have the PCM programmed? Without programming it won't work.

Yes I did. Without the skim. Didn’t work. Ran a ground wire to the ground on the start relay, ran it up and down the street. Probably a short in one of the million wires. But it runs, everything works. Going to the auction

The problem is that it's a Jeep Liberty.

I'm going through the same thing so I want to share my experience. This is a trick to get the jeep to start but it's a temp fix. Your still gonna have to replace the switch. When this common malfunction occurs press the key in and up hard and slow and when you hear the starter stop turning the key and keep it in the same spot. If you keep turning past that point it will go back to the same as it was just keep that in mind and you won't get stranded.

Had same problem. Turned out shifter link cable came disconnected leaving the jeep in gear. Put it in park position and started right up. New linkage bushings and all set

I have been having a similar issue myself, Wont start or turn over.. infact when I use the key to start it via the ignition, nothing happens... I've tested that the starter itself is good, as Its brand new... Ive changed the power cable that runs from the battery to the starter.. (still same result when i try to start it) , I've triple checked EVERY single fuse and relay that is a part of the starting system (according to the owners manual) - 2005 Liberty 3.7L 6 speed manual ..Any help with this would greatly appreciated, as I've been fighting with this problem for the last 2 months now..

Steve. Try beefing up the ground. Run an extra wire from negative clamp to the alternator mount screw. I know it sounds hokie but adding extra ground pathing for alternator helped me fix my starting issues with my Jeep.

Now that is something that I have not tried...... but I'll give it a shot. :) Ty for the suggestion! :) will update in the morning!

The injectors are leaking into the cylinders and flooding the engine. Once evaporated. it will start right up.

We have the same problem with our 2002 Liberty since an accident. I found that when the starter will not turn but everything else works it can only be the security or the neutral start switch. In the case of the Jeep Liberty 3.7 with Automatic Transmission this switch is INSIDE the transmission where the harness plugs into the case for the PCM. When this switch fails it stops sending the "Safe to Start" signal for Park or Neutral to the PCM which results in a NO START/NO Starter Rotation situation. I found that sometimes, not all times, cycling the shift from park to first gear and back can get the contacts to read that the transmission is in Park and the PCM would send the start signal allowing it to start. The NSS switch is internal to a module above the valve body in the transmission. I found a tab and head off of a torx screw on the magnet in the trany pan when I serviced the transmission. These may indicate the NSS module is shifting causing the failure to send the "Park" position signal to my PCM. I can't afford almost $350 for the module plus fluid, and other parts needed to take the module out to replace it yet so I am making do.

If your security light stays on your alarm has been triggered. You have to cycle it on and off again with the ignition key off so it will reset to get the security system to allow the engine to start. I have had this happen early on after we got our 2002 Liberty and it is SUPPOSED to work this way to prevent theft of the car. Resetting it turns off the security lock out that keeps the starter from working but the key has to be off. As for chipped keys. I have not seen any Jeep Liberty models with chipped keys before 2007 but of course I have not looked at any of the Dodge Nitro born Liberty Jeeps because they are not original and have plenty of issues themselves.

Mine drove fine but needed a battery so I replaced the battery with a interstate tc/marine battery brand new which has a regular top post and a threaded rod next to both red and black for different wiring hook ups when I was tightening the positive bolt I touched the threaded rod with my ratchet which caused sparks now it will not crank/ turnover or nothing when I put the key in it has power but when I turn the key it’s nothing I checked all the fuses that would b an issue starter fuse ignition fuse and switched a wiper relay with the starter relay and still nothing any advice plz

Most common fault with these older Liberty's is the switch actuator pin. Mounts between the ignition cylinder and the electrical switch. Took a while for an aftermarket part to become available so used to be had to replace entire steering column. At least I was never able to source one first time I did this job and did have to track down a entire junk yard steering column. So ladybugblue didn't necessarily get ripped off, the part just may not have been available yet. The metal is very weak so overcoming the spring in the ignition switch over the years leads to fatigue fractures in the aluminum. If the pin partially breaks it may just be a no crank, if fully broken may not be able to turn ignition on/off at all. Not too bad to replace but will need an assortment of torx screwdrivers. Same part is used for many Chrysler/Jeep cars from mid 90's to mid 2000's

i Know i had the same problem but i replaced fuses and 33 is the one for the data on the key fob replaced it and the locks and the panic buttons worked fine after that

I have a 2003 Jeep CRD , I am also getting just nothingness when Iturn the key, no crank, not even a click. For the past few months it has had a "sweet spot" only when turning the key that it starts with so probably something was failing. The mechanic took the actuator pin out and it all looked fine and so we thought maybe the switch which it connects to? Battery has been replaced as previous one went flat (could be related??) Open to any helpful suggestions.
