2015 Sport S w/power convenience group. About 3 weeks old now.
Looking for ideas of the cause of this, Dealer appointment on the 13th (after vacation). Temps were in the Upper 80's both days.
Two days in a row, my Jeep wont start after work. Parking location is in direct sunlight with windows rolled up (dirt lot). Yesterday I left the Jeep unlocked, so I climbed right in and tried to start it up. No clicking, no noise from the starter. Radio comes on, fan blows, headlights shine etc... But none of the buttons on my fob work.
Put the top down, checked battery, cleaned/tightened battery connections. After about 15 minutes, the Jeep started and all the fob buttons worked.
Today I arrived at work, locked it up and started my day. About 4pm, I walked out and tried my key fob, no buttons working again. Pulled out the 2nd key and tried the buttons on it, nothing working. Neither key will start the engine.
Now I am scratching my head, thinking over what I did yesterday to the Jeep. It struck me that it was after I put the top down that everything went back to normal. So I used the key to unlock the doors and propped them and the tailgate open. Went back in about 20 minutes, and the buttons on the fobs work again and both keys start the engine.
Any ideas?
