Immobiliser problems after dash removal
I recently removed my dash of my '98 XJ 4.0 with the AW4 to replace my heater core, and now that everything is back together the Jeep won't start.
The remote key fobs hadn't been unlocking the car before this job, if that's relevant.
Now, when I try to start the Jeep I tun the key and nothing happens, but the Sentry Key light stays lit solidly on the dash. I was having other problems before this as I had missed a wire - the Jeep would crank but not fire.
Now I connected that forgotten wire though it just won't do anything except turn on that goddamn light!
Can anyone help?
