I am having a similar problem with my 2007 JKU. Have you had a chance to install the ignition switch yet? I have replaced the battery, the terminals, and most recently the starter and still having the same issue. The ignition switch was where I was headed next. Just curious if you have installed it and what happened. Thanks!

i contacted jscan about the wcm disable feature amd they said: "It won’t work, disabling skim is much more complex on JK platform." lol, at least they are honest.

If going this route, can you still drive the vehicle or ids it out of commission until you get the module back? Thanks!

Nevermind, I just thought it was the skim that was removed. The vehicle won't run until the PCM is reinstalled. Also looks like you never reinstall the skim after this is done. Does the skim delete affect they fob's ability to remote lock/unlock the vehicle?

Thanks!
