The code is specific to the radio intalled into the vehicle. You'll have to remove the radio, get the serial number of the radio off the sticker on the rear of the unit, and call Jeep. Be prepared to provide proof of ownership. They will be able to get the code for you.
If you're lucky, you may be able to find documentation of the code in your owners manual. There is typically a card provided at the original sale date with the code printed or written down on it. Check the glove box for the manual and procedure to enter the code.
Good Luck!

Had to same problem with power grid on door to windows and locks. Turned out to be 3 broken wires just on the inside of door connection to firewall of engine. Took couple of hours to locate and fix by mechanic for $55.00 after I had already spent $89 at GMC dealer to be told needed new wiring harness for $1700 before labor! Will never go back to Dealer!

SOURCE: 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee. Keeps stalling, engine

P0505 means the whole Idle Control system, not only the IAM. Check all related sensors (i.e. crankshaft sensor). Check with a voltmeter direct at the connector of the IAM if you get any signal. Remove the IAM from the TB, connect him, let someone switch your ignition key to ON. The IAM need to drive in/out for a short time to find the right position. Hold the IAM near a hard part, that they cant drive out completely! If IAM works fine, check the fuel pressure, check and clean your TB ( if not done yet). If that doesn't work, come back again please

Jeep Grand Cherokee says "wait" even after a few hours

There is a "wait" period because someone has entered the wrong code 3 times.
You can try waiting with the key in the run position for 45 minutes. Just watch out for the lights coming on as that would just kill the battery.

Don't start it.... just leave the key all the way forward in the run position for about an hour.

The radio should say "code" after 45 min or so.

If you don't have the proper code, Just call any jeep dealer and talk to someone on the service drive... tell them you changed your battery and the radio wants a code that you don't have.
They should help you through the problem.

You can look in the glove box and in the owners manual for a code sticker.... Some people stick them to the back of the glove box or on the radio page of the owners manual.

Hope this helps

Changed the battery in jeep and nom the rds radio says wait 2 hours and i can not punch in the security code to make the radio start working again. It is in a 1996 Grand Cherokee right hand drive.

hi
you will have to leave the radio on until it unlocks itself and resets, it could take 3mins or 3hrs, once this has happened you should be able to code the radio.
hope this helps

My battery was acting up in my 2009 jeep grand cherokee. I replaced the battery and then the radio went out. The fuse was bad, so I changed it and the radio is still not working?

When you bought it, you should have been a radio code and instructions on how to re-activate the security feature in the radio. If you don't have the code or instructions a dealer can get the code using your vin #.
