Changing the battery on a remote car door opener. The remote car door opener on our Jeep 2009 Grand Cherokee stopped working. It seems to be a low battery. I read that there is a way to change the battery yourself. Does anyone know how to open the remote casing in order to replace the battery?

Normally you can get the alarm to shut off by puttin ght key in the ignition or in the door and turning. The remote will need programed with the vehicle. Should run about 50.00 or so for service department to do this. My wife has a '99 cherokee and it did the same thing. I know the remote is the problem.

The alarm might have a relay to kill the ignition. Disconnect the negative or ground from the battery, wait five minutes then connect it again. This is to try and restart the alarm. Then lock and unlock the car to get the remote in sync. Try and operate your vehicle now and let me know.

check your light dimmer & see if you have it set all the way down.If it's anything like my 99WJ it has an off setting when the dimmer is set all the down causing the interior lights to not come on when you open the doors,hope this helps

Check the dash for proper grounding and also check the door harness where it passes through the boot for breaks or shorting. The door may be completing the body ground through the latch.
