Sounds like u need to replace ignition switch. Try resetting car by turning key in position before on.wait 15 minutes.turn key to off position. Do that three times and that will reset electrical. Also check if keys bent. The smallest bend can do crazy stuff. Good luck!

I have had to fiddle with the key several times. Make sure the key is "fully" inserted and try to turn. Depending on how you threaded the cable through it may need to either be removed one way through the lock or the other way as I have had it lock two different ways.

I took this key to the Toyota dealer to use with my 2012 camry. The dealer informed me that key would not work and said he did not know what was wrong with it. I returned to the seller.

You well have to take it too a dealer for key programing when you do that they should be able to make your grand cherokee not work with tHe old keys.and remote . Each key and remote has its own I.D. code

Return it would be my best suggestion, get your money back now while you still can. According to the user manual the closest issue that it covers to the one you are describing is: 2. What to do if it can't start up? Answer: Please check whether you have installed the OBD II connector correctly, and whether you have turned on the power supply. So try it on another OBDII car if you can and verify it is not something wrong with your vehicle, then return it when you are certain it is a piece of junk.

Does it turn at all? If not it was probably cut incorrect Try pulling the key out just a hair and turning. I was able to correct a bad cut with a small file.

Bring up Bulldog.com they have wiring and special use diagrams for your vehicle but if your vehicle starts and then dies this is probably not the problem if your car has a smart key (chipped) it would crank but not start simple way to check is to insert key in ignition leave it in the off position attempt to a start with remote if it starts and runs you need this if it does not or does as it is now recheck your wiring esp. ignition 1 and ignition 2 connections remember do not use crimp style connectors I hope this helps

Jerry, you may have a bad fob, I have a 2001 Frontier with PL, and took a chance on this working for my yr, even though it wasn't listed, I followed the instructions, from being in the truck, put the key in 6 xs and it worked perfect, and still it working perfect, it even sets the alarm, it was so easy that you must have a defective fob, good luck

I tried to get a locksmith to program mine and they couldn't do it. I was told I would have to take it to the dealership. The dealership charges $120 just to program it. Mine is just sitting in its package now :/

Sounds like a bad ignition lock cylinder, i would buy a new one from dealer. The one i bought from amazon was no good stick with original equipment. Hope this helps you.

No, the key is fixed to the back side of the fob housing. Wanted to do exactly what it sounds like you want to do but it doesn't work and I had to get a dealer to remake a key either way, it was about $30 to do.

I had the same issue but you go into the settings and set it up to work. Should go to the steering wheel icon if I'm not mistaken.

I have a large key in mine with a small key ring to slide the key out. Because the top turns off of the lock box the key can only slide in and out. If your thinking of putting in a key that will start your car. I do not recommend it. Have a door key made at your local hardware store. This way you can unlock the car door if your main key is locked inside.

i have a 1999 pontiac grand prix gt and to set the fob you turn key on and off 2x's and end with it on that puts alarm in program mode, then push the door lock and unlock same time and hold till you here the chimes 3x's and you are done test it out make sure it works. i actual ended up buying 2 as my old one would not reprogram.

Yes, I had the dealer cut my key. They told me the key works but programming the locks doesent work. I drove it home with the new key in the ignition and the door locks worked with the new key.

Hi Shelby, If you have the GM five button key fob and your board is not damaged, then the 5 button shell and rubber key pad is all you'll need to get that baby working. If your battery ring loosened or fell off, it just needs some soldering to fix that problem. Make sure that you check the list of model year and make of your GM car before placing your order. There are many fix it video on line if you need help. I found Amazon to fill my order quickly and know that they stand behind their procucts. Fixing my two key fobs saved me more than $400.00 the GM dealers wanted. auto dealers will replace the entire ket fob and board and surely don't want to tell you about this easy repair.
