    I just went out to start Jasper(73 Cj5, 304) and all I'm getting is a clicking noise when I turn the key. The battery is less than a year old, but the jeep has not been started since Oct. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

    Given the chance, I'd put it on a charger for a little while..

    Yep if they sit long they tend to die. Put a trickle charge on for the day.

    JASPER,
    Also make sure that the bat terminals are CLEAN, and the bat clamps are TIGHT!
