I went to start my jeep with the remote start, it turned over one time the stopped,
when i tried again it did everything it should but start.
When i try the key the dash/under hood fuse box clicks once when i turn the key, once when i let off.
This is now the 3rd time this has happened. The jeeps starts fine for up to 2 months at a time... then this.
so far if i let the jeep sit for a couple of days, it starts.
I have read all over the internet that The Jeep Commander is known for an Intermittent starting problem.
Unfortunately NO ONE has the solution!
If you guys can help me fix this you will be my giant families savior. (it's REALLY hard to fit 2 adults 5 kids in a hyundai accent lol) Not only that but you will be the first to come up with the solution that works to this problem!

first check battery for condition including load test tire stores autoparts do for free. then check starter relay for corrosion. if it has it then clean off and use dielectric grease on prongs prior to reinstalling. check ground from battery and make sure it is clean at lower left of engine finally have it scanned to see if integrated power module is giving intermittent problems.
