Not long after I got my 2011 (bought used 1.5 years ago) I stopped at the bank and when I came out and tried to start it wouldn't do anything. Had good lights and radio worked so I didn't suspect the battery. I did have a little red dot in the top corner of instrument cluster that I never noticed before. Turned out it is the key security feature and it somehow did not like my key anymore! Googled it in parking lot and found out I could pop a fuse for a few seconds and reinsert it, did that and Jeep cranked right up!

Don't remember what fuse it was right off hand now though it was over a year ago.

Okay. The paper work doesn't say much.

No start caused by:
B1A25 INVALID KEY, B1A29 BASESTATION MISMATCH, FOUND FLASH FOR WCM.

CORRECTED BY:
FLASHED WCM AND VERIFIED VEHICLE STARTS.

That is it. If taking a fuse out for a little while fixed this, I would really like to know which one.
Thanks for everyone help and comments on this. Hopefully it doesn't happen again.

Had same problem couple months ago. Popped the main ignition fuse out for couple seconds reinserted and was good to go. Fuse was J13 I believe.

you are very fortunate. if you went to the dealer to replace your battery, they will only sell you one that is a 24 month battery.
