Hi, 2004 Wrangler and I only had the one original key, it’s the Grey one that has chip in it.
Ace Value made me a spare chip key and it worked when I left the store. Then I tried to start it later and would not start. the dashboard lights go on along with the chip key light on the dash board. Then it eventually would start after trying for several minutes.
It would also do the same thing even with the original Jeep key now, works sometimes first try and other times have to try it several times.
It was fine until I used the replacement key but its not the keys in my opinion since BOTH keys are hit or miss now. Seems to be something with the chip reader in the ignition. anyone experience this problem? sounds like a trip to the stealership. maybe a reflash?
