1998 Jeep Cherokee: Reset Keyless Entry?
I just bought a jeep and the keyless entry isn't working. The previous
owner hadn't used the central locking mechanism for quite some time (fuse was removed), so I replaced the fuse, and replaced the batteries in the fob. Central locking now works, but the keyless entry still doesn't. How do I reset the keyless fob with the car? |

When I bought my '00 XJ, the PO said the keyless entry fob batteries had
died. He replaced them and said the fobs still didn't work. After pressing the lock and unlock buttons about a hundred times, both fobs now work. Go figure.

Take it down to the local Jeep dealership and ask the service guy if he
can reprogram the fobs to work with the jeep, when I had mine done, he hooked up the OBDIII scanner to the vehicle and did it that way.

Re: 1998 Jeep Cherokee: Reset Keyless Entry?
If yours is of the same "quality" as that of the ZJ series, the little
switches under the thumb buttons go bad, more correctly get dirty and don't make good contact. They can be cleaned but you'll want to be familiar with obnoxiously small electronics to do so. If this is the 2 button remote, try reprograming it. e.g. http://www.thejeep.com/pilandprogram.html Carl proclaimed: > When I bought my '00 XJ, the PO said the keyless entry fob batteries had > died.
