the owners manual may have tips on this but if you have one with a gray key the system is not very servicable with out a factory scan tool so most likely it will need to be taken to a larger shop or the dealer.
Is your alarm system still armed? If it is still armed then you need to disarm it. If you cannot get it to disarm unhook your battery and reconnect it then try and start the Jeep.
ok when i killed the battery on my 02 jeep liberty I could not start it the piston would not turn no fuel, I new that the battery died as I tryed to turn the piston. the computer took it as a fake key and locked it down. DISCONNECT THE BATTERY FOR 20 – 30 MINS AND TRY AGAIN!
Sounds like the engine immobilizer is activated. Simply open the driver’s side door, push the door lock and lock the doors. Close the door, unlock the driver’s side door with the key not with the keyless entry, then try starting the vehicle.
