Problem for Jeep 2000 Grand Cherokee

2000 Jeep grand Cherokee will start then turn off




By hkatarsky on Jul 05, 2009

" "
when I insert the key to start the jeep, it the engine will start and run for about 5 seconds and then just shut down. Sometimes this happens over and over again. Sometimes ten times before the jeep will start and stay running. Some days the jeep will start on the first crank. On the dash, there is a light that remains lit. It is a light of key with a circle and line thru it. I took the jeep to a dealer and had the key re programmed. When I picked the vehicle up, it started right up and the light was out. The jeep ran great the rest of the day and thought, Great PROBLEM SOLVED!! Until the next day, when I went to start the jeep and the problem is NOT fixed and the light is back on. I was told to get a new key, OR it could be the ignition switch, OR it can be the screen module?? Not sure what to do and dont have a ton of money to keep taking shots in the dark. Please help.

Replace the key Im the forman for a jeep dealership. The dealer should have told you that in the first place. there is no reason the key would unprogram itself unless the chip is intermitently shorting out. If you have another key start it if it stay running u know the key is at fault. hope this helps u out.

check the wiring system of the car from ignition to battery and ignition switch up to the wiring of the lights from head light to back light it may be is a loose connection of wires. Use amplifier or the one we call tester.
