Jeep Ignition Fix - Checlist

The jeep is not starting properly, when turning the key all the way, chunking/clicking sound comes from under the console, then if I pull the key, or leave it in just holding it all the way, it will eventually start.
I've checked batter connections (1), and reset the starter relay (5). Its still doing it but less so, so defs just an electrical issue.
The JEEP

  1. Battery and Connections: -- all good
  2. Starter: starter or a power issue to the starter. Try tapping the starter while attempting to crank the engine.
  3. Ignition Switch and Actuator: Check the ignition switch actuator pin for breakage and replace if necessary.
  4. Clutch Safety Switch: Bypass the clutch safety switch to rule it out. If bypassing works, replace the switch.
  5. Starter Relay: Check the starter relay in the PCM. Swap it with another relay to test.
