I checked with my local dealer. They said 190 TIPMs are on back-order, with no projected acquisition date.
The TIPM retails for about $250. It can be installed by the owner. If the process is not done correctly, the dealer can bail you out.

I just had mine replaced as well. That was my fault for trying to cross a water crossing, but hey.
Anyways, they are on back order, and I didn't get a new one. They ended up giving me a used one and flew an engineer from chrysler out to reprogram it. I waited two months btw.

Have you been able to contact Chrysler?
here is what I have discovered:
The part# RL692236AI is a "remanufactured" part# and what our dealer parts dudes are trying to find for us with no luck. The original equipment# is 04692236AI and for some reason the parts guru's are not seeking this part#.

I have located a few dealers with the OE part on their shelf. I am getting one today and taking it to my dealer who has my jeep for them to get busy and get me back on the road.

good luck.

Thanks! Going to try to do that myself! Hopefully I can find the part somewhere here close by.

Well, crossing my fingers that the service techs can do this install correctly. Thanks to the service mgr at Pro Jeep in CO for helping me out. Plug

Dealer just called and said the TIPM I delivered worked and my jeep "is ready for pick up" $370 total for part and labor. So the alternate part number is ok.

I had one go bad but only affected the a/c and fan motor. The dealer replaced it under warranty and it was back ordered and took two weeks. A real pain in the butt. Didnt know it was such a common problem.
