2009 Dodge Journey wont start

What happens at 100,000 miles?

The clue is in what that click sounds like. The starter relay makes a very light click that you probably won't hear inside the vehicle but you will under the hood. The solenoid built into the starter will make a pretty loud clunk. If it makes a single clunk each time you turn the ignition switch to "crank", the solenoid can have arced or pitted contacts or one of the larger battery cables can have a bad connection. With bad contacts in the solenoid, it will work eventually if you try it enough times. That will get progressively worse over the next weeks or months.

A NOISE AND LIGHTS IS NOT A "REAL" BATTERY TEST....A BATTERY NEEDS A MORE IN DEPTH TEST THAN THAT........SNATCH IT OUT AND HAVE A POPULAR PARTS STORE TEST IT THOROUGHLY....NORMALLY THEY WILL DO THIS FOR FREE!!!!

OTHER THAN THAT.....LIKE THE 1ST FELLER TOLD YOU, IT COULD BE POSSIBLY OTHER STUFF TOO, LIKE A BAD STARTER...ETC

BUT PROBABLY THE MOST COMMON AND IGNORED THINGS ARE "THE BATTERY" AN A "BAD CONNECTION"

BELOW IS A LINK TO ONE OF MY AWESOME ANSWERS THAT MAY HELP YOU "ATTACK" A BAD CONNECTION MORE AGGRESSIVELY....I MADE A FEW PICS AT THE END
