Thanks for taking the time to post the video and content. I used the recommendation to helps friend with a 2013 Rubicon. I gave you the credit, but I got the reward!

I wanted to thank you very much for this video….you save me a lot of time and money!! I called 3 different dealerships about the problem and they had no clue what to do. I will be going to the dealership tomorrow and show them the bulletin to get this fixed so it doesn’t happen again. Again thank you very much!!

Try your spare key and see if it stays running, could be a bad key. If both keys react the same, get the module checked.

Justin McClure says:

When mine was doing it, it would happen once or twice per month. Look up the service bulletin listed above and take it to the dealer. I believe if a service bulletin was issued they will fix it even if it’s out of warranty. If it happens again, try your spare key. If it starts with the spare, it could be the key that is the problem. If neither key starts it, it’s probably the module.

Justin McClure says:

From what I understand from the dealer, that is not the case. Since the Sentry module in the jeep always receives a positive voltage, the removal of this fuse just resets the sentry unit. This is a common problem with this sentry unit across many vehicles. (I’ve traded my problematic Jeep for a new Ford Pickup!!!) Crazy how many issues I’ve had through the years with my 2007 model jeep. Maybe they got the issues worked out after Chrysler had a few years after taking Jeep over.

curious to see if pulling this fuse will allow to ignition to read any programed key?

I have the same issue as yours, my is 2008. One way is on the video or disconnect the battery wait for a few minute than reconnect it, it a temporary fix, but will cause it again. the other way is, it could be the Neutral safety switch is out of adjustment that could cause the problem, if it start on Neutral, it the Neutral safety switch. And last is Make a new really good ground from your battery, to the body, to the engine, and then to the transmission. This solution has worked for some.

How often does it happen? I just started having this on my 2008. It happens every few days….

Just did this with my 2013 wrangler unlimited 6speed and it worked. Thank you for posting this! its saved me a big headache.

Jeremy Steele says:

same problem with my 2000 Grand Cherokee and i pulled the fuse, did the trick, though the engine did crank and ran for about 2 seconds before shutting back down..

Justin McClure says:

Good deal…!!! Glad it got you un-stuck!! LOL… Guess it looks like my next video will be the replacement of my driver site exhaust manifold as it seems to be cracked now. (Common Problem) Thanks again Jeep!!!

Kepler Kramer says:

Thank you very much!

Had this happen on my 2013 Wrangler over the weekend.

Pulling M13 for thirty seconds was all it took.
