Default HELP jeep won't start

Hello everyone, my 1999 jeep Cherokee sport won't start! All it does when I turn the key all the way is make a "click" and then everything shuts off and won't turn back on unless I disconnect the terminals from the battery then reconnect them. I have already tested the battery and it was fine, I have taken the starter off and tested it. It was also fine. I then also checked all the fuses and relays and they are all good! Someone please help. I dont know want else to check.

how are the battery terminals and posts? Clean them with a wire brush till shiny and apply dielectric grease to posts and terminals. See what happens.

Time to make sure your battery is properly charged, and clean up your electrical connections:
