My jeep starts then dies quickly. The security light does not work anymore either and the dash cluster does not work. This all started at same time and the jeep will not start and run....Any suggestions? I checked battery, it's good..and the fuses all have power across them and are good. I know all these functions are to fuse 7, but the fuse is good and has power across it..Thank you for your help

Idle Air conrol motor might be stuck with dirt. Clean it with carb cleaner without letting the liquid to get into the device, then reinstall it. If this does not help, and if the spintle does not move when the key is placed in the run position, then the iac motor should be replaced.

SOURCE: 91 jeep randomly wont start; also spits/sputters on acceleration

First (I"M starting to sound like a broken record on this) check the ground connections at both ends of the cable.(smaller body grounds as well) Make sure they are clean where they make contact with block and terminal post (not just on the outside.) Make sure hot wire is also clean and fastened correctly. Right now, we are trying to find out what it's not., Then, you can get to what it is.Often small stupid things can look like other larger problems.

SOURCE: 93 Jeep Grand Cherokee Won't start

The crankshaft position sensor was seriously problematic in those old jeeps. It's located towards the top of the bell housing slightly to the driver's side I think.

SOURCE: Problem with the security system Jeep cherokee '95

To reset the alarm, you have to lock everything back up and then use the key to unlock the tailgate FIRST. After that, you can unlock any of the doors with the key without the security system locking everything off.

(Needless to say, I gained familiarity with this situation from personal experience!)

SOURCE: 2007 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Crank-No Start. Replaced FP.

Hey Tim take a look at this, will this help ?
SUBJECT:
No Engine Crank Or No Engine Start Due To Electronic Lockup Of The WCM / SKREEM
OVERVIEW:
This bulletin involves the replacement of the Wireless Control Module (WCM), and if
equipped, the replacement of the Electric Steering Column Lock (ELV). The WCM is also
referred to as the Sentry Key Remote Entry Module (SKREEM).
MODELS:
2007
SYMPTOM/CONDITION:
The customer will experience a no engine crank AND a no engine start condition. Also, the
remote keyless entry (RKE) system will not operate. This condition may be due to an
electrostatic discharge (ESD) from the ignition key into the Wireless Control Module
(WCM), causing the WCM to electronically lockup. This condition may occur more
frequently in dry and/or cold weather conditions where a sufficient electrostatic charge is
more easily produced. This condition is corrected by the replacement of the WCM
DIAGNOSIS:
1. With the condition present (i.e. the vehicle in the no crank / no start condition), connect
the StarSCAN® scan tool to the vehicle.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the “ON” position, and power up the StarSCAN®.
3. If the WCM is electronically locked up, the StarSCAN® will display the WCM as being
“off bus”.
4. If the no crank / no start condition is present, and the WCM is “off bus”, then reset the
WCM by temporarily removing the IOD fuse (with the key out of the ignition switch),
wait for 10 seconds and then reinstall the IOD fuse.
5. With the IOD fuse reset having been performed, verify that the vehicle will now crank,
start, and run.
6. If the condition is temporarily corrected by performing the above steps, and if the part
number of the WCM is earlier than the part number of the WCM listed in the part
reference table in the Service Bulletin Parts Required Section below, then perform the
Repair Procedure.

My 2012 Jeep Liberty stopped running it's not battery because I got a new one

To reset the Jeep Liberty alarm, press the control door-lock button on the keyless entry fob. Open the side door of the cab. Leave all doors closed for around 16 seconds before the Vehicle Security Light on the instrument cluster starts blinking quickly.

Just installed a new Battery and ity's still dieing, installed anew alternator now I have no Brake lights or dash lights and no starter any ideas

Whatever you've got doesn't seem to be anything to do with the battery or alternator. Its more like you have a major ground or harness issue. I'm not saying the SS isn't playing up but if no Jeep expert comes across with a fix then you need to get some experienced help and start looking at chassis and battery ground cables, the harness rubbed through somewhere, engine to frame ground cable. A bad earth can cause all sorts of weird things with lights and systems.

http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f13/how-disable-your-alarm-your-zj-483020/

endless post. on topic. read it, try it.

better yet, diagnose it.
scan the PCM to find out why the ASD relay drops out
does it? that is the first test in all, no starter.

if the battery is discharged, bad things happen as the security logic
goes nuts. (the chips dont yet run on "free energy" )

Car will not turn on unless dashboard works

Unfortunately these cars and the Skylarks by Buick have this issue. The cluster in the dash goes bad and activates the security system, which shuts the vehicle down. Security bypasses won't work due to the cluster issues, and clusters are extremely hard to find. Check some junkyards, but the internet is pretty tapped out.

All warning lights on dash come on and all electrics stop working

The common problem with the dashes on the Jeep is contacts. Remove the cluster and try cleaning the electrical contacts with a Q-tip and alcohol replace cluster and try again.

Security light flashes

The security system (VATS/PassKey) is having problems, it's typical on those cars and it will gradually prevent the car to start anymore. You can find a great write-up here: http://newrockies.ca , this has been the only thing that saved my Park Avenue.
