Well, classic Monday. Go out to head go lunch and Jeep won't run. Starts on initial crank, runs for a few seconds, then shuts engine off. No CEL, just red light over temp gauge. All gauges normal during run, etc.
2013 JKU 15000 miles.

Any ideas? Getting towed to Dealer soon.

 

Sounds like a fuel delivery issue, but it could be something else.

The red light over temp gauge is the factory alarm. Try disco the battery for 60 seconds and let the jeep reset. Also check the battery in your FOB key.

 

Start-then stall after a few seconds is the wireless control module not recognizing the key transponder.
Open the fuse box, pull up on the white fuse holder, then reset it after about 10 seconds.
That will reset the system if that was the issue. Other than that, let the dealer see it under warranty.
The transponder in the key doesn't require a battery to operate, so the key battery won't be the problem.
Pull up on the one labled Ignition Off Draw.

 

I wasn't aware the transponder didn't require power. I once had my jeep lock me out from starting(wouldn't start, but red light kept blinking). I replaced the key battery and everything started fine. Weird, right?

 

Yup. Weird. Probably a coincidence.

 

freakin' gremlins

 

Agreed on gremlins. Chyrsler towed her to the dealer so we shall see what they say.

 

I had the same problem. Turned out ket battery was bad. Used other key everything OK.

 

So, you are saying yours would start, then quit after a few seconds, and it was the key battery?
Strange, because mine works fine with a key that doesn't have a battery.
The battery in the key is for the locks, panic horn, and remote start.

 

Dealer mentioned the" wireless control module" that will shut engine off if incorrect key present. Jeep supposed to be ready by 10 AM tomorrow.
