Please subscribe to my channel for more helpful videos! I really appreciate it!!! #jeeplife

Thsnk you for the referral. When i bought my Jeep 3 years ago my mechanic used the same people for a refurbished brain and i currently have this issue going on. The lady Jessi was extremely nice and helpful. I didn't call her back on time with the VIN number and they closed but you were a great help and i thank you for the content. My jeep looks just like yours

SO MANY people need to see this! I've researched this issue and WHAT a NIGHTMARE! Thanks for sharing ~ ~ ~

DUDE!!!! THANK YOU SO MUCH,did everything you said that company did just like you showed,ZERO ISSUES WITH MY JEEP FINALLY,only cost 270 bucks compared to +1,000's.

I have a 2004 Grand Cherokee 4.0 4x4 & I called my local Auto Zone & for $197.19 they deleted the SKIM module. All you need to do is bring in the PCM, the mileage & VIN#. Done! Thank you so much for this video. Before I found your video I took it to a shop & they burned me for $500 saying they couldn't fix it & sent me to a local dealer who would of charged me $1700! I googled & found you...😊

I've been scouring the net for weeks for a decent economic repair for this garbage anti theft system and thanks to you I may have found it. I hope they are still offering this service. I just emailed them to find out. You made a subscriber out of me. Thanks man. Ill keep you informed and tell everyone I know

WOW, SO AWESOME I came a cross this by accident so I called them.... Update on price is now $160.00 to have it disabled or $360.00 for my 04 Jeep Grand Cherokee Limited.😁😁😁😁😁. THANK YOU......From Idaho

Thank you for posting this I will try it out. I've been trying to figure out what the heck is going on for a while. I replaced the ignition switch which was a major pain the the rear. It worked for about three days and then it went back to doing the exact same thing again. So I will check out the skim module as you suggested and see what I get. Thanks again.

I am about to have my SKIM delete done after losing my key. I replaced the barrel and key which will now just be e dead metal key and barrel. One thing as you probably know is that you MUST remove the SKIM reader before reinstalling the SKIM deleted ECU / PCM. If it is left connected it reactivates the SKIM system and you're back to square one. Good video.

I lost my key and I should have checked your channel out! I just paid for a new Fob and the dummy can't program it to my Jeep. I could've save the time, hassel and esp the $$$...I could kick myself in the A!!! THANK YOU!!!

So many issues so little time except if I watch your channel!! thanks

Omg this was sooo helpful! I just put new plugs wires battery radiator bank 2 sensor and alternator put on my sons Jeep and it did just what the video stated! Started for about 5-10 secs then shut off! Plugged in my FIXD and it gave me this issue! I work on my own vehicles a lot! If YouTube can tell me what to and it’s simple, I will fix it myself! This video was great! Now to go find this gadget with the ring lol

Dude thanks so much that place fixed it fast snd it works flawlessly... thank you so much...

Wow I learned something about my used jeep. That light comes on and I have only one key. It happens to be black so no chip. Now I will take it apart to see if there is a skim module and whether it is just un plugged. Maybe it was programed already. I want the skim to work but maybe I will set something else up instead for anti theft. Either way great info you shared thanks.

I did this and it worked like magic. all you hve to do is Use a lock to avoid vehicle being stolen again in my case, however i connected the SKIM module thinking it'll be no biggie and to lock and unlock doors with the remote. So im back to square one the engine died on spot and wont start. I will wait until tomorrow to try or i will have to call them back. So to finish here, thanks for the info in this video it did help and those people at Computers resources did a great job i was able to start my car and had no issues until today but it was my mistake. i will update the results thanks

thank you becausw i just bought a jeep for 250 because of this exact problem. i knew there had to be a way to fix ix! so now for 250 plus cost of removing the skim from the ecm i will have an excellent running vehicle

Thank you so much. Saved me a trip to the dealership

This actually works. I just fixed my nephew’s 2002 Jeep Grand Cherokee V8 Saturday morning. They now charge $125 to reprogram the computer. But since my nephew lives 5 hours away (10 hours roundtrip drive time, not including removing the computer), it was cheaper and saved me time by ordering one of their computers with his VIN# programmed in it for $234, they also charged an additional $50 to program the computer to bypass the skim, so a total of $284 including shipping. I ordered the computer on Tuesday, January 7, 2020 and received the new computer on Friday, January 10, 2020. I made that 5 hour ride late Friday night. After installing the new computer and with the skim removed, the Jeep would crank and run, but it was still in anti-theft mode, the horn and lights would flash and the power window switch and locks on the drivers door would not work. I disconnected the battery, reconnected the skim, held both positive and negative battery cables together for 3 minutes to reset the computer. Reconnected the battery. Now everything works like it’s supposed to. Thanks for this post!!! The stealership told me it just needed a new key fob programmed to the vehicle, a cost of $289 + $89 = $378 not including taxes. Had I listened to them I would have been out of an additional $378 + taxes, because that a key fob would not have fixed the problem.

By the way if anyone is doing the disconnect the battery trick like he desribes there is no need to wait 10 to 20 min just step on the brakes or turn on the headlights or anything all you need to do is drain the stored energy that is held in and capacitors in the computer

Now i known why my 2005 dakota start with a regular metal key. Thanks for sharing.
