Remote/immobiliser troubles ZG Grand Cherokee

[HUYAJEEP]

There is a clear plastic ring around the ignition key switch, which illuminates green when the door is opened..........?? thanks

The motor only starts if you press the unlock button on the remote a couple of times, whilst the key is in the ignition............otherwise, the motor just churns over but will not start ??

The light is on the left on top of the dash
make shore that the terminals in the key fob are clean and touching
it also plays up if car battery isn't up to scrach.

Hi.

I have a Grand Cherokee Laredo, built June '96 so I think it would be the same as yours.

There should be a small red flashing light on the left side above the glove box near the windscreen. The light will flash when the immobiliser is charged. Will turn off when disarmed.

The remote should disarm the immobiliser when the button is pressed just once. With mine, you do not need to have the key in the ignition to disarm the immobiliser.

My remote is a bit fiddly and I sometimes I have to tap the unit for it to work. Why I say this is that possibly the nuisance is in the remote. Have you replaced the battery in the remote unit. It is a common button battery that can be bought just about anywhere and well worth replacing frequently as there would be nothing worse than a flat remote in the middle of nowhere.

Hope this helps..

Well glad to say reprogramming a remote can be done!! Take a spare remote to guys that know what they are doing and they managed to program mine to my car in 15minutes and 50$ later i am a very happy man.

The guys to go to Amalgamated Locksmiths Newstead if you're near the Brisbane area.

Yeahha

By the way i purchased a second hand remote with the same PN but unsure if it needs to be or not... any questions pm me
