Have your battery load tested and if okay cleaned posts and cables and make sure its properly tightened-if it continues short out the starter solenoid if it cranks the engine -check and test the starter relay, park and neutral switch for 2.5L and transmission range switch for 4.0L engine to include the ignition switch

Don't crank the engine over remove starter and have tested.

No problem even if its V8 auto same circuitry.

Okay at the starter short out the battery terminal to the small terminal that has light green and black wire with a screwdriver-did the engine crank over? If not the starter is no good
