Thanks for your advice, it worked! My Jeep is working again. I was ready to go out and buy a new starter and have my car towed to a mechanic.
You just saved me a lot of money!

Turn the ignition key and vehicle just clicks. I replaced the starter, battery, coil, capacitor and the ignition switch relay located on firewall. I have the same results. Any suggestions?

This is a battery / cable / cable connection problem. Start by measuring the battery voltage. It will be 12.6 volts if it's good and fully-charged. If you find closer to 12.2 volts, it's good but discharged. Charge it at a slow rate for an hour. Once the engine is running, measure the voltage again. It must be between 13.75 to 14.75 volts. Based on those measurements we'll figure out where to go next.
