Hey guys im sure this has been discussed a thousand times

i just bought a new remote for my TJ magna (the one with red and green and grey buttons)

my refuses to go into programming mode!!! iv been turning it on and off untill teh cows come home!!!

PLEASE HELP!!

please dont slander, i did search but couldnt find any tj specific. (i thought it may differ)

Make sure the door is closed, then key to acc then ignition 3 times, indicators should flash?

afet that press a button and i would think that would be it?

Did you check if your remote has a good battery in it? Could be flat/not there?

TJ the unit is brand new, and has a battery in it i checked, but thats not the issue, the car wont even enter programming mode,

Also now my key central locking has stopped working, as well as every time i turn on my car my odometer goes back to the 5 as if iv just disconnected the battery,

iv no idea whats going on :/ would have anything to do with the fact i may have popped my interior light fuse, which i seem to be unable to remove due to some stupid yellow thing in my fuse box around the interior light fuse... i dont know whats going on :/ its to late at night now to really go over it in details :S

I have the same problem with my KF. It just wont enter programming mode no matter what I do!! It's really annoying! :(

For the battery problem, check your battery connection doesn't have any corrosion, and the leads are on there tightly.

Start off by replacing that fuse. The yellow border around the two fuses pulls up, its there to tell you that pulling those fuses will reset everything, just like disconnecting the battery would, so expect an unsteady idle etc when you next use the car. Seriously, replacing that fuse SHOULD get everything working normally again.

yea i tried to pull that yellow thingy up but it wouldn't move, if both those fuses are fine im completely lost for f$%^n ideas...

Why dont you try moving that yellow thingy up again? I've had the same issue before and it was one of the fuses inside that yellow box.

Maybe you should take your car to the mechanic if you cant figure it out??

Yea if after i check those 2 fuses it doesnt fix it, thats exactly where its going haha stupid electronics,

would it be better to goto a mechanic or auto elec?

Anyone who has any idea with cars will do :D

i cant remove that yellow thing for the life of me... is there a special way to do it or am i just retarted?

FIXED!!! REMOTE WORKS!!!!!! :D yay!!!!

Thanks to all who offered help much appreciated!!!

Mod please close! as issue solved!!!
