When trying to start my 2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee this morning, the engine will not turn over after several attempts. This problem started a few months ago but before, the engine would start when I would pull out the key from the ignition, reinsert it, turn the ingnition again and the engine would start. I can hear a clicking sound at the engine and both front doors (power locks?) when I turn the ignition. The battery is new.
Any suggestions?
Do you have an alarm on this? If you do, that is most likely the problem. There seems to be a problem with the alarms. You may want to have a new key made just in case. Sometimes the keys are magnetically charged and after time, it wears off.

The car does not have an alarm. In reading other forums, the problem may be with the starter, ignition module or a relay. Before I start taking it apart, it would be helpful to know if one of these parts (or another part) is more likely to be the problem.
I also noticed when I turn the ignition, the digital clock readout on the radio tuns off until I stop turning the ignition.
