Thanks for posting Lance.
In your opinion, would it be worth scheduling a service visit based on the fact that it happened once already, even though everything is working now?If it happens again you do want to take it in so they can replace the module. From what I understand the new module is not susceptible to electro static discharge like the original one.
If you have the lifetime warranty still it should be covered by that. If you are not under warranty (like me). Then just keep a fuse puller in your glovebox and pull M13 out of the fusebox for 30 seconds if it happens to you.Is this on our dime to have this fixed?
My 07 does this weekly!issed:
Keep in mind that the " lifetime warranty " is on the power train only. Also I have been warned by the service manager at my stealership that Chrysler is checking records to insure you have preformed all of the "Required maintenance" and voiding the warranty if you have failed to do so.If you have the lifetime warranty still it should be covered by that. If you are not under warranty (like me). Then just keep a fuse puller in your glovebox and pull M13 out of the fusebox for 30 seconds if it happens to you.
Mine has done it once in the three years I've bought it.
This was all covered under warranty for me- twice alreadyHappened to me today. Remote wouldn't work so I opened it with the key. Alarm went off and wouldn't stop so I disconnected the battery. Finally got it to start and went home for lunch with all the idiot lights on. After lunch, tried to start it and nothing.issed: Disconnected and reconnected the battery, tried all the remote buttons on both keys, nothing.

issed: Called the tow truck and went off to the stealership. $100 to look at it and then $300+ for what they called a Win (?) module to get the POS to recognize the key. Then maybe they can find out if there is more "damage".

Glad I found this thread about the TSB, maybe it will save me some $.
Wanna drop a SBC and a Warn OD in my '48 Willys and use it for a DD. At least I could fix it.

Yes, I'm just guessing that unless it is a customer pay, with out a code to report they would have trouble getting the factory to cover it.... Not that they go out of the way to do anything much for us.....I had this happen two nights ago, on my 2008 JK Unlimited, which was made in January 2008.
Of course it did it at night in the Publix parking lot, when it's about 25 degrees. I googled the problem on my phone, and found the TSB, and the one I read mentioned pulling the IOD fuse, with the key removed, waiting 30 seconds, then replacing it. I tried that twice, and no luck.
I had to call my Brother up there, since I had no 10mm or 12mm to disconnect the negative cable.
We did that, and when we reconnected it, the horn chirped, which means the computer thinks the alarm was tripped before the battery was disconnected.
That got it running just like normal, and after 2 days, no signs of it again.
I brought it to the local dealership to have them check it out, since I don't fancy it happening again. Of course, after 3 hours waiting, and likely because I disconnected the battery, no codes were stored in the ECU, and they couldn't duplicate it. Of course if no codes were stored, how did it know to chirp the horn when it was reconnected? Hmmm.....
Anyhow, I figure if it does it again, I call the roadside service #, and have them tow it, so they can actually see the failure.
I tried mentioning the TSB to the Service Advisor, but like most, they blow off any suggestion the customer gives, and won't do squat if they can't replicate the issue.
I had the red light over the temp gage light up and my TPS low tire waning was on. As soon as I turned off the jeep everything was dead until I disconnected the battery for a few seconds. After the one time, no more issues, but it was a very cold day when it happened. We don't' have many of those in Southern California.i'm having a similar problem with my 08 rubicon. except all the lights and chimes will go off while i'm driving, then when its turned off it will not restart. and again all the idiot lights will blink when the key is turned on. has this happened to anyone else with the wireless control module problem?
