Battery wont charge and when i turn the key back it makes a clicking noise
that means the battery cables are dirty clean them
or the charge system is failing.
the clinking is the sounds of electronics going nuts, with too low a voltage to run.
can be 4 things.
- battery no good.
- cable to same green with corrosion.
- alternator (or related )bad.
- phantom drains, you charge battery and while asleep it dies.
forget all those odd symptoms, the battery right now is dead
fix that first, (cause )
2000 Jeep Grand Cherokee shifting problem from 2nd to 3rd
Check the kick down cable. If it sticks the transmission won't shift. I sprayed WD-40 on both the top and bottom connectors , and it worked like a charm. It's alot cheaper them spending 2000 on a new transmission you don't really need.

My brake lights will not turn off they stay on constantly and wont work while i am driving
In most cases this would indicate a defective brake light switch.
My experience with this come from a 2001 ford windstar which would work well most times but every now and then would run the battery dead. Due to the higher cost of replacement switch I discovered function / actuation mode of the same switch did some adjustments and fixed it. Same switch now working perfectly with no relapse for over one year.
If you are sure the brake pedal is returning all the way up then it is more than likely the switch. Do not be afraid to give it a look to see if you can correct the problem with some minor adjustments.
If i remember correctly a good strong sharp utility knife was used when I fixed mine, be careful not to cut yourself!!
