I have a 2010 jeep grand cherokee with factory keyless entry. Lately it has been unlocking itself overnight. By coincidence, I saw the headlights come on one night, checked, and the door was unlocked again... just as if I had just clicked the unlock button on the keychain remote.

So, I took the battery out of the remote, made sure the doors were locked and went to bed. A few hours later, I check the car and the doors are unlocked again.

This typical? Seems like the control unit for the keyless entry in the Jeep is acting up to me.

Is there a way that i can cut the power to the keyless receiver to disable it while still having the power locks work (pushing the lock/unlock button on the door panel)? I have been searching online and can't find a fuse to pull or the location of the keyless receiver for the Jeep.

Any help will be appreciated. Thank you

Short of a Jeep ghost you sure have a swell problem. My neighbor has a 99 GCL and his alarm was screwing up on him draining the battery dead overnight. He had to get a new alarm installed. His temp fix was to unhook from battery overnight so alarm would not drain his battery down.

Is this draining your battery or just mysteriously unloccking itself overnight. Have you tried leaving it unlocked to see if anything happens? Do you have a repair manual for your Jeep? It should be addressed in there just where the remote is located in the car. I downloaded a service manual for my 97 and it was a huge help to me. Some are free but most downloaded manuals cost less than $10.
