Hi,
Have a big problem, hoping someone may have some wisdom to share.
I had a security system installed yesterday with remote engine start (in a 91' XJ). After the system was installed, the vehicle would not automatically switch gears. It basically starts out in (Drive), and creeps along until it gets up to speed, then runs fine, except it won't switch down gears again or pop into passing gear. Manually gears work fine.
Installers (Best Buy), disconnected the system but problem is still happening. Best Buy said it could brought into a Jeep dealer, and if they find the problem was caused by the install they would take care of it, other wise it would be my problem. I wasn't having this problem before bringing it in, it seems strange that it would just start happening while sitting in a garage while the system was being installed without it being related to the install.
Any clues what may cause this problem? Electronically, is there something they could have effected the would tell the XJ not to switch gears. I would appreciate any feedback before the dealer makes their deciesion.
Thanks
