Can you program the fob to unlock just the drivers door,no horn sound when locking,lights flash,etc.?I do not have the owners manual.Curently it locks the doors with a horn sound only,no light flash and unlocks the doors with no horn or headlight flash just the dome light.This is a 2000 sport 4 door.Thanx

 

See if this works for you:

REMOTE KEYLESS ENTRY RECEIVER PROGRAMMING

The optional Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) system for this vehicle has a customer programmable horn chirp feature. The horn chirp is requested by the RKE receiver through a hard-wired circuit to the horn relay, whenever a valid Lock message is received from a programmed RKE radio transmitter.

The purpose of the horn chirp is to provide the vehicle operator with an audible verification that the Lock request has been received by the RKE receiver. However, for any number of reasons, some customers may prefer that this feature be disabled. This RKE system allows them that option.

To program the Remote Keyless Entry (RKE) receiver so that the horn chirp feature is disabled, proceed as follows:

(1) While within the reception range of the RKE receiver, press and hold the Lock button of a programmed RKE transmitter depressed for five to ten seconds.

(2) While holding the RKE transmitter Lock button depressed, press and release the RKE transmitter Unlock button.

(3) The RKE horn chirp feature is now disabled. Repeating the preceding steps will again enable the RKE horn chirp feature.

 

You are a wealth of information Ken. I like that.

 

I have used these sort of procedures on other vehicles to great success. Usually the owners manual will have that info. But not always.

So CCKen,

How do I get a post 96 RKE to work on my 96 XJ? I think 96 was the last year of the infrared communication device. It would be real cool to use one of the spare fobs from my 02 Dakota to on the XJ. I grabbed an XJ RKE receiver from the ceiling of 2000 but could not figure a way to wire it up in my 96.

 

I don't think the post-96 RKE system wiring is compatible with the '96 RKE wiring.

 

Thanks. That confirms what I suspected.

 

For keyless entry help.

My favorite part of this website is this:

"Cherokee: There is no onboard programming procedure for this vehicle. This vehicle requires special equipment be connected to the vehicle to program the keyless remote.
Please contact your dealer for programming."

 

Does this procedure work for 97+?

 

It depends on what you want to do. If you are trying to program a remote to your vehicle (add a remote), then refer to post 10. If youre looking to just disable the chirp, I dont know.

 

I'll have to try it next time I get jeepin'. I hate the horn chirp too.
