| Description of the problem | Frequently when i try to lock my door (with remote entry key), the jeep will honk, but i notice that 1 or both of the doors have not locked (sometimes diver, sometimes passenger, sometimes both). After much experimentation, i can not find a pattern to this. Unlocking and re-locking resolves the problem. Sometimes when unlocking, my jeep makes a loud honk. I have also had trouble starting my jeep a couple times. I go to turn the key, and there is no cranking (lights do turn on). After removing the key and trying again, there is no problem. I had one instance where my jeep was running, and the radio system became completely unpowered (no radio, no time on lcd, nothing). After about 1 minute, the power was restored. This combination of problems makes me worried that this is related to the tipm, which many other wrangler owners are having a problem with. My problems are not yet endangering (although definitely annoying). I am hoping there is no progression of symptoms like other wrangler owners have. |
