My Jeep won’t start got a new battery so it’s not that, it
turns over and wants to start but doesn’t make it. Had a
new starter put in a week after I bought it a year ago

That leaves lack of fuel, air, or spark as the reason for not starting. Do you hear the fuel pump energizing when key is turned to on?

Sounds like a fuel delivery or spark issue (assuming you are not getting the check engine light to illuminate).

Check your fuse box diagram for the fuel pump fuse or relay. This post on a Jeep forum may help you: http://jeepgarage.org/f181/fuel-pump-help-43971.html

It’s not that, riled that option out today. Thinking it’s the fuel pump kinda an off question but how can you tell if someone had tampered with your car...example sugar in the gas tank

There's no way to really know, other than dropping the tank and cleaning it out. Dropping a tank isn't that hard for a shop to do, let them know you think you may have been sabotaged. If you do get the fuel pump swapped and tank cleaned out, get a locking gas cap and park the vehicle someplace safe, and by all means file a police report.

I replace the alternator and starter in my 2006 Jeep grand Cherokee because I thought it was bad because when I was driving my jeep it stalled while operating it was an antitheft lock mode also I got it out of it I know the starter relay switch was bad but I’m also hearing clicking sounds from under the dash for the interior fuses are.When I go to turn the key over all the lights flicker and a dash flicks really fast and makes a loud clicking sound what kind of issues could I be dealing with
