new key programming problems
Hi
I have a 2000 Jeep Wrangler. I have just purchased a key from ebay and had it cut at my local key cutting store. I have come to follow the steps but the SKIS indicator light never turns on: B. Insert original key #1 into ignition and turn to On C. Wait 5 seconds and turn key to off D. Immediately insert original key # 2 into ignition and turn to on E. Wait 10 seconds for SKIS indicator in dash starts to flash F. Turn ignition off, insert new blank key and turn ignition back on G. Once SKIS light stops flashing and turns off, your new key is programmed Both keys I have will start the car, I have put key 1 into the ignition and turned it it to on (by on I assume its the position that you drive in rather than the start position) all the indicator light show up the dash beeps 4 times all light go out, so 5 seconds after turning key is about the time the beeps stop, turn the key to off (all lights go out) put the second key in and turn to on, all lights go on, 5 beeps, lights off, continue waiting but the SKIS indicator never starts to flash. Am I doing something wrong , should the jeep beep 4 times ( I assumed that it is just checking gauges) Cheers Matt |

new key programming problems
I dunno but I bought a security key for my wife's JGC and it took maybe
a few programming attempts before I figured out the instructions fully but it finally worked. Several years later the key still works fine. toxicated101 wrote: > Hi > > I have a 2000 Jeep Wrangler.

I don't get the problem.....
You say the programming worked fine because the key works right? Maybe the light bulb is bad?

Seems to me I remember something about having to have 2
pre-programmed keys to make more. I only got one with my Jeep and the dealer charged $80 (40 for parts and 40 for labor) for another one, which we proceeded to lose...

Mine required just one pre-programmed key to get the new one working.

new key programming problems
I only got 1 key when I bought my WJ. I bought two blank transponder keys
on eBay and then had a local locksmith cut and program the first key with their computer interface machine using the SKIM code I got from the Jeep dealership PARTS department. The cutting and programming cost $24.99 and the key blanks were $11.99 each. I then programmed the second key myself after getting it cut by using the directions on http://www.wjjeeps.com/sentry.htm#PROGRAM I would recommend following the "Quick Steps" as the extra information in the "Detailed Steps' initially led to some confusion. Quick Steps: A. Purchase a blank key and have it cut B. Insert original key #1 into ignition and turn to On C. Wait 5 seconds and turn key to off D. Immediately insert original key # 2 into ignition and turn to on E. Wait 10 seconds for SKIS indicator in dash starts to flash F. Turn ignition off, insert new blank key and turn ignition back on G.

new key programming problems
Hi
Maybe I didn't make my self clear, I got the jeep with 2 keys both work and start the car, I have now purchased a 3rd key had it cut and it is this key I am having problems programming. Key A (Original Key starts car) Key B (Original/spare Key starts car) Key C (New Key has been cut, needs programming) I insert Key A and turn to on, wait between 3 and 15 seconds, turn to off. I then insert Key B and turn to on (withing 15 seconds) and wait, but no SKIS light comes on. I assume the SKIS light is the one of the picture of the key with the line going through it. Which works because it comes on during the initial lamp test, you know when you turn the key to on and all the lights light up, then go out after a few seconds. I have followed the instructions , they don't seam so complicated, insert one key turn to on wait 5 seconds, turn off, insert key 2 , turn to on wait 10 seconds light and a beep should be heard , insert new key, but no light or beep. Is there something I'm missing? Cheers Matt billy ray wrote: > I only got 1 key when I bought my WJ.
