U need to change the ignition key lock cylinder and have the secrity system module reprogramed to reconize the new lock cylinder, so this job is best left to the dealer.

Changed ignition switch startsa up then quits

You've interrupted the antitheft system. It can't recognize the key signal and shuts down to prevent theft.

Removed the key from my 2000 gmc jimmy and the chimes saying the the key is still in it wont go off

Sounds like it in the key switch. Try to jiggle the key back and fourth to see if it will stop it

Changed out ignition switch but security light wont turn off after trying to relearn key

This can be a very touchy system. One wrong move on install can damage things down the line. Ive had good luck bypassing these systems. No more smart keys, no more security lights.

HI i have a 200o jeep grand cherokee limited v8 and my coolant notification just came on? can i buy coolant myself and put it in? if so what kind should i get? or is it easier to go to the...

coolant come in two versions mixed and unmixed, in unmoixed use half coolant and half water, you can add coolant yourself but do not remove the radiator cap when the engine is hot, its under pressure and dangerous, any good brand coolant will do, then have the system checked for leaks

I have a 2005 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited. My drivers side front power seat does Not stay adjusted. Every time I turn the ignition on the seat moves backward and the back lays down.

The limited edition brings memory setting for mirrors and seats, it recognizes which key are you putting in the ignition and puts the saved setting accordingly to that driver's key. That is the reason your seat keeps moving. You need to reprogram the seat position for that key. Good luck

IGNITION SWITCH

Put the brakeon while trying to turn the key, also try turnin the steering wheel, I know it is locked but just put a little pressure on it it should move one way or the other a half inch. If it's standard be sure to put the clutch pedal in as well.
