It's not pinging. I read a heap of that pinging stuff when I first looked this up. Let's be honest, pinging doesn't happen anymore (on new, ordinary car engines). And pinging reduces engine performance, it's not just a sound. There's something else that's causing it.

New JT Gladiator had a fault with its central locking system, in that the door motors wouldn't unlock any of the doors. Lock is fine, and the unlock still flashes the lights/ turns off the immobiliser - just won't unlock the doors.
Apparently 4 weeks for the part. Asked why we couldn't just swap it out for a functioning one they said they were VIN-specific

Check out this forum: https://www.jeepgladiatorforum.com/forum/threads/boh-questions.44554-bp They seem to be talking about a similar problem in a thread, but there's a lot more to it.

Thanks mate. Looked there - and it may well be the pins in the door module. I took both passenger and driver's side apart though, and couldn't find an issue. I'll wait to see what part the dealer has ordered, and if it works. If it's the module with the pins then I'll put it up here. However, there's no way that'd be linked to a VIN #, surely. Unless, as I suspect, he just doesn't want to take an available car for him to sell off-line until the part arrives. See how it goes.
It's just been embarrassing for me and Jeep - everyone's oohing and ahhing over the car when I turn up to friends places, but then the inevitable 'typical Jeep' comment comes out when, like my 1978 Toyota Crown, I have to reach over to unlock the doors manually for them to get in. I've taken to telling them it doesn't have central locking due to the doors, so they don't see it as a fault but as a Jeep Quirk.

Try not to pay attention to the opinions of others. Ride what you feel comfortable and enjoy. You can't please everyone!
