Thank you for sharing your information. I live in San Diego and recently purchased the new jeep wrangler. Which dealer do you go to for your jeep to get service? Is there any particular dealer do you go to?
Very helpful! Thank you for sharing!
Alaska checking in. Today's high made it to -2… Even the pet polar bear came inside.
It literally tells you how to do this on the info screen.
Great Info! Thanks!
Would love to see a video on your basic winch cleaning and maintenance.
Thanks for reminding us. But also when opening yhe door alarm will sound since armed with remote previously.
have had this happen to me and I knew about this trick it work s with most keyfobs and not just jeeps. been living with the Mopar battery hell in my JL. 2 batteries and the start/stop battery in 3 years. I now have a REAL battery (interstate) in the Grey Ghost. Things are better..
Thanks Brad! I am sure happy you are a family friend site and very informative. 🙂
Adds are killing your channel man
That’s actually super neat! My 2011 Grand Cherokee with push button start required you to remove the button cover and insert the keyfob like a giant plastic key, which meant that even push button models had to have an ugly fob. This newer design is quite well done.
Thanks for the helpful vid, one of those things I should have looked into myself but had not yet thought to check, might save me one day.
Too funny, that stupid extra plasic wrap around battery is insane.
Consider changing the battery in your spare fob too. I have had it run down, unnoticed in the drawer, to the point I had to take it in for reprogramming at the dealer. Cost of about $100.00.
The opening of the fob is the real mid-evil process.
Mine went dead with no key fob battery warning.
Thanks for this one Brad. I just had a conversation with a friend about this who asked me if there was a manual way to start my Jeep Wrangler. I had no idea how to do it until you posted this video, LOL! Thanks!!
these new high tech rigs have their own issues 😉 glad there is an easy fix Brad!
Haha, hitting that hazard button was inevitable, I would have hit it too. Great tip, thanks Brad.
I don't catch every video as it comes up, but you guys are a staple on our TV nowadays
I just changed ours last week because of the same warning. For some reason all of the google results I found said the batteries are 2032, so needless to say I was annoyed when I opened them up and saw larger 2045 batteries.
I would have been looking for the key insert location in the center console and can imagine the frustration that I would have experienced. Thanks for the excellent video Brad!
perfect timing mine is dying was wondering what battery size was i was just about to google it
