Central Locking
« on: October 11, 2008, 16:25:04 »
Hi all you have been highly recommended to me 

I`ve had my Grand Cherokee [ 2002 ] a week and not sure if I have touched something whilst testing or developed a fault. Anyway a small but annoying thing. When I picked it up the central locking worked fine then key one remote stopped opening the doors although I can lock it fine. Remote two worked fine so I thought maybe remote number ones battery. I had the batteries replaced in both remotes. Outside the shop remote one worked opening and closing.

The next day I went to lock it and remote one was back to the original problem it will lock but to open I have to use the key. I thought ok then remote two was ok but that too only locks but will not open......

Any of you experts suggest what to do please. I know of a guy that re programmes remotes but don`t want to waste money if it`s just a simple problem I`m overlooking. One person suggested disconnecting the battery over to you......

There's every chance that the radio will need re-coding, 99.9% sure.

There should be a record of this in the service book or even in the destructions for the stereo, could be hand written or a sticker, so have a good look before you disconnect it, failing that, if its the original Jeep item, a phone call to your local stealership with the reg number & Chassis number on hand, they should be able to tell you  ;)

i had a similar problem -  mine was the keyforb and the alarm playing up.

you need to disconnect the battery and leave for at least 20 mins before reconnecting
to reset the alarm. check the alarm light on the dash - it should go off.

it could also be a short curcuit somewhere.

OK I attempted the 5 minute disconnect and still same problem. Just read the instructions re pressing the remote six times after replacing a remotes battery still same problem though. Now I`ve just disconnected the battery and type this whilst waiting the twenty mins. Thanks.  :?

if you bought it from a dealer, take it back for them to sort out a.s.a.p.

perhaps take it to jeep and see if they can find an error code [ do a search ]
not sure how to but have read somewhere that if you follow a sequence with
your key fob it will display the error code on your dash unit [ where the clock is ]
jeep may want to replace the alarm module - unit that controls all the keyfob
functions.

or take it to a specialist alarm fitter for advice.

it may be something simple but until you find out what it is, its hard to
pinpoint the prob.
