The starting issue is the same I had on my 2005 Grand Cherokee. The wire coming from the ignition (key area) to the Starter the connection is bad. The shop replaced the lead and it is perfectly fine... it cost $70. I dont know the techincal terms.. but it was easy to fix- the problem is water and junk gets splashed up by the front tire and corroded the wire into the sarter.... that's all it was.
Good luck.

2006 Jeep Commander Intermittent Starting Problems

2006 Jeep Commander - sometimes I will turn the key and nothing happens - all of the instrument panel lights come on, radio comes on and fan blows but no start. The engine doesn't turn over - just nothing. I will have to turn the key several times to get it to start and sometimes will have to wait a few minutes before retrying.

a lot tougher job than in the old days!

The engine oil pan is made of laminated steel and has a single plane sealing surface. The sandwich style oil pan gasket has an integrated windage tray and steel carrier. The sealing area of the gasket is molded with rubber and is designed to be reused as long as the gasket is not cut, torn or ripped

1.) Disconnect negative battery cable.
2.) Remove the radiator fan
3.) Remove the intake manifold you need to do this to install the engine support tool
4.) Install engine support Tool #8534 Do not raise engine at this time but make sure it is tight!
5.) Remove the structural cover
6.) Remove both left and right side engine mount through bolts
7.) Raise engine to provide clearance to remove oil pan.
8.) Drain engine oil and remove oil filter
9.) Remove the oil pan mounting bolts and oil pan.
10.) Unbolt oil pump pickup tube and remove tube and oil pan gasket from engine.

NOTE:Do not pry on oil pan or oil pan gasket. Gasket is mounted to engine and does not come out with oil pan.



reverse to install
do not over tighten bolts
follow normal torque sequence but here's a pic just in case

there is a push button switch in the door jamb for the lift gate. look closely and you will find it. when the door is shut the button is pushed and the interior lights and open door warning go off. it is broken and you need a new one. this will be a dealer item and it snaps or screws in. when you get the new switch you may want to pay someone with mechanical aptitude to replace it.

There is a plug (cap) that goes into the pivot point of the release handle for the third row seats. If that plug is missing, you can stick a penny in there temporarily to enable the release and fold the seats down. The replacement part is called a "release handle plug" -- I found it at moparpartsovestock.com, part number 1ED82BD1AA for under $4.

well that depends on unstated optional drive train.
but most TCM migrated to the ECU, and was renamed PCM for just that reason.
due to faster processors magic, one ECU can do job of 2 things.
but some transmission options still have TCM box.

why not just look a jeep dot com
look a your unstated drive line and see what you have
or read the FSM for your car?///// "factory service man(book) or cd:"
or at alldata.com


i see 6 driveline here.
