![]() The Jeep comes with a coded ignition key that I've read can be bypassed by thieves using laptop computers and car remote decoders.ĭoes anyone have a better solution, short of a 24-hour armed guard, to secure their car? Lojack and GPS tracking don't prevent theft, just track down what may be a stripped or destroyed car, and very expensive. After a lot of internet research, I've read about the RAVELCO engine immobilier which claims to have a perfect record over 30 years of NEVER allowing a car to be stolen by driving it away! No protection against towing, obviously.ĭoes anyone with this Ravelco system care to offer any feedback about it? I also plan to use a deadbolt hood lock and heavy duty Unelko brake pedal jack lock to layer my security. Maybe, but I could not get this price just a week ago when I was shopping around.Īnyway, local comprehensive insurance rates are sky high so I'm looking to cut costs. Dealer claims he took a $2K loss just to make factory sales incentives. Got a great end of October discount, $20K out the door, even my color choice. I just bought a 2012 Jeep Compass 4x2 CVT here in Vegas, the #2 city in the USA for car thefts so obviously I'm a bit paranoid about it. Any info would be greatly appreciated.Thanks. I really need this car to work as it is my only means of transportation at this point and connot afford a dealer fix. I tried it in the ignition and it started then shut down after 2 seconds. At least that is what it did a couple of months ago when I had a key made just to unlock the doors. I cannot believe that it is the key because it should at least start for 2 seconds then turn off. I dropped the tank and checked as I thought the pump had gone bad. It has no power to the fuel pump, but the fule pump works fine. I tried disconnecting the battery for 24 hours hoping to drain the system, I was told to unlock the vehicle manually on the rear and passenger door to reset, But there is only one manual door lock and that is on the driver door. I was told this is the anti-theft icon and that I was in a "hard theft mode" I have no idea how to fix it. once all the icons disapear the one that comes back on is the one of the key with a circle and line through it. ![]() We went to start the vehicle the next morning and all it will do is turn over, no start though. We did this about 2-3 times until we were finished. after about 20 minutes of getting in and out we decided to see if it would start. My daughter was watching a movie inside while we were setting up for a camping trip. I have a 99 Grand cherokee that was working flawlessly until thes last weekend. Here is a link that shows a diagram of what I have described: This will ground the system and should permantly disable the alarm system. Take the other end of the new wire and ground it to the body of the jeep. Take one end of this new wire and wrap it around the exposed section of the violet/yellow wire. Get a section of new, similar gauged wire (18 guage works), and strip away the plastic on both ends to expose the wiring. Instead, strip the violet/yellow plastic off to expose the bare wire. In that group of wires, locate the violet with a yellow tracer wire. On the drivers side in the foot well area just above the hood release mechanism you should see the wire harness that is coming from the drivers door. It is a violet with a yellow tracer wire. To disable the alarm you need to ground a wire that is running throught the drviers door jam wire harness. Here are instructions, based on advice I found on other websites:
