New to the forum but I need all the help I can get. 03 Jeep 80k miles, cranks but won't start, no spark, no fuel, dashboard light on for the key, will not communicate with diagnostic computer, I only have one key, car has been down a week and over $300 invested to this point. Had my regular mechanic look at the Jeep, his diagnostic computer could not communicate with the bus, he said it was probably a SKIM issue and it would need maybe a module and most likely would need to be reprogrammed but a dealer only job. Towed to dealer (C & C Jeep PA), 1st day they try to sell me a starter (battery run down because everyone is trying to start the car), 2nd day they tell me their computer cannot communicate with Jeep's computer ($120 test) and they would need 5 more hours @ $150 to diagnose the issue. I TOWED IT OFF THEIR LOT. Pretty disappointed in this Jeep's dealer expertise and an $880 estimate just to find the issue, who knows if they ever actually fix Jeeps. Any ideas or things you can steer me to? I keep hearing that only a Jeep dealer can reprogram. Can't an alarm guy or a automotive locksmith do that? Thank you in advance for any reply, glad to be on board.
