Electrical problem
1992 Jeep Cherokee V6 Four Wheel Drive Automatic 207000 miles

Every time I try to start the vehicle I get a single click and nothing else. I have checked the battery. The positive terminal is only getting minimal "spark" not enough to do anything. Also it seems like when I can get it to even click it resets itself or something and I have to wiggle it to get a spark again.

Check battery connections make sure its clean and tight.

Inspect and test the auto shutdown relay this one powers the coil/fuel pump/injectors.
