My new fob cost me under $30 new from the dealership and they included programming for free. The part number Ivan provided IS the correct number for the 97-98 keyless entry fob. A spare ignition key will cost you less than $5 for a 97-98 key.djwright4341 said:The easiest way to tell is to call your local Jeep dealer and give them the VIN. They'll tell you in about 5 seconds whether or not it has keyless. New FOB is around $80 plus a $15 fee to access the code from Chrysler and program it. Go ahead and get a spare key at the same time (I think it was around $40) and you won't get charged twice for the programming fee. New FOB, key, and programming cost me about $140, IIRC. I didn't want to take a chance on a FOB from eBay so I went ahead and got a new one.

I pulled the circuit board to inspect it and found that about 3 or 4 of the circuit traces are corroded completely off the board so it is shot. And get this - when I disconnected the board from the wiring harness, the doors fired and locked! On another thread I am trying to find out why my door locks don't fire.
SO... does anyone know where I can find a replacement circuit board or the whole dome unit for a 98 ? I think I'M getting closer to the gremlins and they are startin' to run!
motroutmo said:gptrilik - that sounds great. The number printed on the bottom of my circuit board is 614210. Does that match one of yours or do you know if it compatible with one you have? I am most interested in the 2k since it is newer. You wouldn't have the key fobs that go with it would ya? Thanks again!
