I don't know if my alarm is on or not.Alarm indicator light does not flash when I push the remote lock button, if I push the panic button it goes off. Tried to set it off by putting the key in the door and unlock it does nothing. By the way my remote is what I put in the ignition to start the vehicle. The actual metal key only opens the door.
The car came with 2 RKE FOBs
are both dead.?
alway have 3 FOB if not you can not reprogram a new one. self.
can cost you $300 for more to tow your car to the dealer if the 1 fob dies. never run one fob. or bad happens.
put in a new battery in the FOB for door issues
the transponder part does not use the battery .
the transponder must be good, or the car would never run.
the jeep cuts fuel after 2 seconds if the transponder fails.
again, are both FOBS dead? why not answser the 1st question?

The alarm might have a relay to kill the ignition. Disconnect the negative or ground from the battery, wait five minutes then connect it again. This is to try and restart the alarm. Then lock and unlock the car to get the remote in sync. Try and operate your vehicle now and let me know.
SOURCE: The remote on my 2008 Jeep Commander is totally
try replacing remote batteries, but must have a second programmed key to reset first one in case its gets uncoded, best advise do not take long time to replace battery, if problem persist have a good honest mechanic inspect door key cylinder security switch if it is not disconnected, but before you do this, if right side front door or rear door has cylinder try opening vehicle from this doors, if they unlock vehicle and alarm doesn't go off you might have problems inside driver's door cylinder switch, on this year vehicle must use STAR SCANNER from chrysler jeep dodge to solve problems
Testimonial: "Excellent advice. Thanks!"

I received 1 key. The dealer that I purchased my Jeep from said that he had a new key made for me before I drove to Tulsa, OK to pick it up maybe that has something to do with it. When I push the lock button the horn beeps and the lights flash like its supposed to. I don't know how to set if off so that I know that it's actually working or not.
you want to test the system? the operators guide explaines that, you lost that? in the glove box? here it is, next
http://www.jeep.com/en/owners/manuals/
free fora ll.
page 17? fashes dash lamp , then off means it works and is armed.
the alarm monitors many points on the car, are you saying you wish test (breach) each alarm point? or what? 8 points in all. read page 20 and 21. see the 16second rule, exiting car with alarm set, that is one test. want more? one other trick, not tried by me (i can thing of many) is to arm the car with the fob and driver window down, then reach in and open the door, past window , at inside, and open it from the the inside, if the dash lamp fails to show the red lamp flash ,as you arm it with the fob, that would mean its smarter then us. (dig?)
the panic feature is an option , added to alram, id ignore that for your tests. its just the 9th alarm point (option)
page 189 , (more light facts)
if the system says its armed it is, after all if one of the 9 switches fail to close, it tells you that too. via that same light. try my window test.
btw, if you keep 2 fobs working you can make a 3 at home, saving huge cash outlays. DIY, does work. not to mention tow charges, and lack of use.
dash lamp does not flash, that's what made me courious
i guess you lost the operators guide? the alarm can be shut down. or activated. with the instuction there. lets see if we can find it, ok, here is the book,http://www.jeep.com/en/owners/manuals/ now lets read the page together, page 20, see that page? and the page for disarming the system page 21.? it the flashes fail per those 2 pages, the system needs service. page 20 to 25, read those.
http://www.jeep.com/en/owners/manuals/
The alarm will set when you use the remote keyless entry transmitter to lock the doors and liftgate or when you use the power door lock switch while the door is open. After all the doors are locked and closed, a red light (located in the instrument cluster) will flash rapidly for about 16 seconds to signal that the system is arming. During this 16 second pre-arm period, opening any door or the liftgate will cancel the arming. If the system successfully arms, the red light will flash at a slower rate to indicate the alarm is set
if this fails, on BOTH fobs, get service or use a SCAN tool to read the DTC errors. not having 2 fob (3 is best) invites the battery going dead and having problems. replace the battery. the book you lost, on page 25,shows how to replace the FOB battery, RKE device.
