SOURCE: Keyless Entry and Remote

I have had this problem take you drivers door put your key and un-lock from the out side with key (NO) then open the door push un-lock from the inside button and then set from you remote and it should set if not push un-lock then lock and then do the un-lock with the key. Let me know if that works. what my car did was locked from the inside and I had the problem were it would not work till I un-locked from the out side plus I had to go to radio shack and change the battery from the control.
Hope good happens.

SOURCE: remote keyless entry will not unlock vehicle, but interior elec power works, NO ENGINE!

I had the same problem with my 2007 Sahara Unlimited. I'll make a long story as short as possible. For a number of years my son ran a Chrysler / Jeep dealership and I contacted him (I bought my Jeep from him before he got out of the business) and he told me this is a sporadic problem with the Wrangler line. To the point of calling him I had tried everything and nothing worked...insert key, turn, nothing...all electrical worked, lights, power windows, radio, etc, etc. He told me to disconnect the negative power connection on the battery for a second or two then re-attach. Insert key, engine starts, everything works as advertised.

Essentially, my son told me this "re-boots" the system. For whatever, and to his knowledge, never explained by Jeep, this fix works but no idea as to why it happens in the first place.

Hope this is of some help...though I suggest that there may be more "fixes" to this problem.

Regards...

SOURCE: My 2000 Mercedes Benz S500 is dead- electronic key does not

It's not that unusual for a battery to fail that soon, and the "no lights, no nothing" says that it's the battery again. Your best bet at this point is to pull the battery and take it to the point of purchase for testing. They should either replace it under warranty or charge it for you. After you replace the battery you should have the charging/electrical system checked for possible shorts or power drains.

I have a 01 durango stoped running a week sgo had code cam or crank so i replaced both ran for a day now has code p0320 every where i check say crank sensor is their anything else i do have a broken r

First of all, even though I don't think it has anything to do with it, fix the ground. These sensors were made of cheap plastic in those days if I recall correctly. Make sure it is installed right. Meaning that nothing turned while replacing it. Secondly, after replacing the sensor make sure there is a signal(power) from the ignition source.(ie, distributor or coil pack), third, unplug your battery for about a minute to give your phone a hard reset. It may take the computer a few starts to (learn) the new sensor. If everything is plugged in correctly, has power, and the computer has been reset, you very well may have gotten a faulty sensor which your auto parts will gladly replace. If this is the case, look on the bright side, it will come out a lot easier than the original even though it is in a tight spot. The 4.7 Durango had the sensor passenger side bell housing by head. Good luck.

Won't start twice in a row. Starts/stalls.

Have the fuel system pressure checked especially after you start and stop the engine. If the system loses pressure immediately, you have a problem with loss of residual pressure caused by a check valve or equivalent.

Hard starting

Crank Angle Sensor (CAS) should be replace.

Most battery last 48 months,check the date code on top of the battery to see how long it is in service.

My 1997 gmc 1500 suburban will not run but it pulls no dtc codes on the cpu

My 97 Suburban had a similar problem. Would not crank on a regular basis. Replaced spark plug wires, plugs and rotor cap. Vehicle cranked and ran just fine, plugs were in poor shape. Checked fuel pressure, above 55psi with engine running or just the switch turned on. Immediately after switching engine off the pressure would bleed off to "0" PSI. Otherwise everything OK. Problem solved, so I thought. A couple days latter I had to make a road trip from Mobile, Al to Fort Meyers, Fl when cranking problem re-occurred after approx. 100 miles into trip. I stopped at parts houses on the way to ask questions and to obtain their best ideas, at times it would take 30 minutes before engine would again crank after making a stop. I replaced almost all of the sensors. Finally made it to Fort Meyers that night. Next morning vehicle was dead would not crank no matter what I tried. Fuel pressure OK. Only thing left to replace, Fuel Injector spider system. Problem solved.

C320 starting problem

Hello,

I had the same problem with mine. Disconnect the power seat moduale underneath the seats. Recharge the battery and shouldn't happen again. Providing the battery hasn't worn down past the charging point. Worst case you will have to get a new battery. If you google C320 battery drains you will see hundreds of other peoples posts.

Good Luck
