I, so ill keep it short and bullet point for convenience guys:
- 2010 jkusahara

- Today, 5 feet from jeep, pushed unlock on key fob and alarm went off?? Wierd i know. Just in case it was panic i hit i held panic down, nothing.

- Let alarm run its course because key fob seemingly doesnt work. I changed the battery later today. Still doesnt work, none of the buttons do anything.

- Opened door with key, alarm went off. Key in ignotion, turned.. Nothing

- oddly, 1.5 days ago i was turning into my parking lot and the esp and abs lights came on with a chime. Nothing noticeable happened with the jeep. I parked and turned it off, took key out and put it back in and turned it back on. No more lights on dash. Started like normal.

- I upgraded stereo/hu/speakers/amp 4 months ago with no issues at all.

- I've not done anything electrical except for the stereo upgrade. Although I have had a flashpaq for 2 years, but no issues there.

- the key fob hasnt been damaged or shocked or had moisture damage. Also a fresh battery now.

- Jeep is sitting, battery disconnected waiting fore to figure out what to do next. Really don't wish to tow to a dealer. Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance!

Check ground connections and battery connections. Have the battery tested also. Could also be a TIPM issue.

Chefbrujo

Thanks all. I will check grounds. I only have 1 key fob as I bought it used and it only came with one.

Chefbrujo

Haven't been able to check grounds yet. But just want to bump to see if there's anyone out there that have experienced the same thing and if/what they ended doing about it.

Chefbrujo

Bump......

So in case someone encounters then same situation. I had the keyfob tested and it was dead. Cost me $300. I almost had to tow jeep to dealer too, luckily the tow driver jumped it somehow and bypassed the alarm. Id love to know how he did this.
