I think this is one of my best videos. You guys let me know what you think in the comments!
Yr definitely honing yr video skills. Some of those questions 😮... good luck replying.
Haters gonna hate! I've been waiting for them. Lol
Watching this in my xB
Nice!!
Whew! Your caption had me thinking dropped valve seats or god knows what else that would mean this thing is toast without a heavy investment. I love it when a fix is easy!
I bet everyone thought it was a dropped valve! Heck, this is a Jeep! It could have been anything! 😂 Luckily it was easy. Thanks for watching!
I'm glad you got it fixed alright, I confess the video title was a bit disappointing since I have one 07 Commander and I absolutely love thing, so for me it kind of sucks to hear about a fellow XK owner having trouble with theirs. I'm glad it wasn't anything serious
I actually had similar problem a few months ago, during the winter which had some ridiculously cold days here in CT, but mine was actually the battery. I have a XJ which I was using it a lot for some reason, so the XK was sitting at the parking lot for a while, but as soon as I plugged the jumper it started right away, drove around for a bit and never had any problems since
I also got the recall notification, but haven't got around taking it to the dealer yet
Anyway, good job on the repair and thanks for the video instructions 👍
Our cars are old, they are going to have issues. Any car would. As long as the fix is $20 and 30 minutes of my time I'm fine with it! Thanks for watching.
All Depends on your key. I have the Fobik. I pulled my WIN/Key?Ignition module without pulling the dash and swapped them out ( To put in a factory one with a auto start feature).
That saves the whole dash pulling, the module will pull out the bottom like yours minus the dash nonsense.
:)
But I will give you a story since you shared yours.
I had two commanders. My first had the autostart and the current does not. I wanted to add remote start. So I did a Non OEM Fortin brand which works great ( minus igniton circuit codes if you scan the system, but not lights of anything comes on...3 lock presses to start). But, I saw a deal on a factory WIN with the autostart for 66.00 for the module and (2) keys. Cool, I buy it.
I swap out the WIN modules and programmed the new one to the car, and it starts , keys unlock and lock, etc. I press the autostart buttons and nothing.
I researched and say, Oh I need the antenna for the WIN module, I buy it and add it, nothing.
More research, Oh, I need the hood pin of the car will disable to autostart. I add it....Nothing.
More research, and my scan tool shows. "Auto Start Disabled" in the ECU. And nope, there is not way for a Non Factory scan tool to Reflash that to "enable" that I am aware of in the ECU, so No Bueno.
I put in the old WIN and old Autostart and accept that I will have to press a button one more time for the future.
With that said, anyone reading my babble. : I have a FOBIK style WIN and now ( four keys) that come with it. And the PIN# for the WIN as well if you need. Send me a message.
(But there are no physical keys that come with it) Naturally My car doors aint gonna be the same as anyone elses, so not point it the physical keys, which were cut already to mine. Just a fyi).
Best Wishes..
(ps) there are (starter blankets etc) for the cold weather, which you can wrap the starter and the wires ( yellow wire). getting that onto a starter which is already installed....not fun. but just saying....
Thanks for comment and story! Lots of good info there. Thanks for watching!
Same thing happened to me last year! After they did the ignition switch recall. The dealership was saying that couldn't be the problem. But I had my bf with me and he wasn't going to except that answer. Long story short they had to keep replacing it until it was fixed 😂. They finally got tired of seeing us
Ha! Stupid dealer! These are so easy to fix and cheap!! Glad you are back on the road! Thanks for watching!
I thought I had another year to go but right now like 20 minutes ago it didn’t want to start I’m buying this switch rn
Appreciate this video🙏
It's an easy fix. Good luck!
Yes on the GPS video. Starting to setup my XK for overland camping and need all the tips I can get.
Will do. I'll work on it next week. Thanks for commenting and thanks for watching.
Had a feelin it wasn't dead. Nice pic to draw us in... When u had to take the 75 dash screws out, have the same oznium LEDs as u & thought u forgot about those wires. Can't believe u have haters... they're just jealous, screw em. Great vid, can't wait for yr next Commander post. Hope all is well down there in 61° FL. Cold as ... here in Boston. Ty!
Thanks for the support! The title and pic worked! This video is getting views! Don't worry, spring is right around the corner!
You'll know if you have the recall because the "improved" switch is a locking one that breaks keys. I bought a 2006 Commander new and still have it - 300k miles, it's my Ship of Theseus - Jeep of Theseus... I've had every 5.7 Commander gremlin on every Commander forum you can have...
Great tip! Thanks for watching!
Rock Auto shows the Dorman part as the economy option... all others are listed along with the Mopar part. I bought "Standard" ignition switch as a backup just in case.
Yes please do a video on that mount and GPS. Thanks!
The mount is trick. Not gonna lie. I've never seen it done in a Commander before. Thanks for watching!
Man, tank's not dead just on time out! I had the switch issue on my ION and it fkn sucked! I learned to change it out quickly and would do it in less than five minutes but the problem was that it wouldn't always program correctly and had to be done again! GM did do a recall and when I took the car in techs took two weeks to fix it then it happened again on the second day out! I took it back and after three days GM claimed it was the starter, which I had replaced four months back. I offered to replace it myself "again" in their shop to teach them but they declined and took another week to fix it knowing it was the switch. I had to replace it the following year, did it myself and always kept a spare since O'Reilly's has lifetime warranty on it. I'm glad the tank's ok dude, don't do the fake news headline though 😂
Hey, the fake news works! This video is getting views! What a terrible dealer experience. Sounds par for the course. It's amazing how these little things can prevent your car from starting! Dumb design. Thanks for always watching JC!
Hi first thanks for the great video. I have a question. Do you know if the 3.0CRD for the European market has the same issues? and if so is the switch item in the description the same as the one for the 3.0CRD? Thanks in advance for your answer. Keep up the good work love your video's👍
I don't know, but I will tell you that this switch is used in basically all Jeeps. So the chances are high that it's the same. Stick your arm under the dash and check! Thanks for watching.
Thanks for the video... very helpful. Yeah, that starter is a XXXXXXX XXXXX to install. Ask me how I know. LOL!
Yeah, if you have experience working on cars it's not too bad, but it's certainly not easy. Thanks for watching.
Same issue with me but my issue was just a relay module.
Mann I’m with you shame on those HATErs go hate some were else
Haters love to hate! 🤣
Nice explanation about the starter switch. Dad
Now you know!
I appreciate this video . Im looking at buying an 09 commander. Any info is good info
Check out my Jeep Commander review video. 👍
My 2008 has the newer ignition Thank God😂😂.
Yeah but you got other issues with that ignition that aren't $20 to fix! Thanks for watching.
Time for a new XB build!
I don't think so.
Im in south Florida. i have a 2006 scion xb release 3.0 the bright green 💚 one. i need to paint it and upgrade somethings. Do you know of any shops? im willing to drive.
Serrot Performance garage in Casselbury, FL. Tell Randy I sent you!
Should have went OEM part! That's one of the few parts you want to go OEM
Anything would have been better than that Dorman garbage. I learned my lesson there, but Standard make solid OE parts. I know that for a fact (I used to work at an auto parts store). As for the OEM part, I think they are like $70 and to me it's not worth the extra $50. This is a 30 minute repair. Thanks for watching.
Just had this happen to me on the weekend. My 09 commander wouldn't start or crank, all electrical stuff worked.
Tried jumping it, checked the fuses and starter finally towed it to a shop and they jumpstarted it.
Said the battery voltage was low.
Hopefully it won't happen again! Grap a jump starter. I did a video on one. Just search the channel. Thanks for watching.
I had the same issue with the gauges dying randomly, but my issue turned out to be a corroded ground wire!
Well if it happens again you know how to fix it! Thanks for watching. Glad it was an easy fix for you.
Do you know which wire it is? I think i have same issue as you, but dont think it is the ignition switch, although my gauges are dying randomly when i knock in the area where the key is.
@@holoduke51a mine was under the seat and under the carpet. Bolted onto the bump that the front legs of the seat are mounted to. Had salt water intrusion in the area, so I'd suspect that eslrcially if you live where roads are salted.
07 Commander, had her two years and have not had this issue. I don’t believe the previous owner didn’t either, weird
If maintained, and that's a big IF, these can be great cars. I had a bad ignition switch and starter have been my only issues. Thanks for watching.
😃👍🏼🤙🏼
Thanks for watching!
Hey, what are those little light on the dash? My commander needs those as the button lights are out
I did a video on them. Just search the channel.
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers thanks. I found it and ordered two colors. Hopefully now I can see those dang controls at night.
@@ExtremeDailyDriversnow my switch is acting up. Lol got a new one, so tonight’s install time. 😂😂😂
@@SoCalSurfer69 Check the wiring again. It's probably something simple.
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers Nope it's the ignition. Headlights and dash lights went off while driving, so I wiggled the key, and all came back on. LOL
I know this is a long shot. I was just showing my dad yr 1st Commander vid & realized u had the chrome hood deflector I have been going nuts trying to find. If u still have it plz let me know I'll send u the $$. Ty
My first mod was throwing that in the trash the minute I got home. 🤣😆 Sorry.
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers Wow! Going crazy trying to find it. Ty for replying.
@@themerianofamily Honestly, you wouldn't have wanted the one on my XK. It was completely sand blasted.
@ExtremeDailyDrivers . Been chasing it so long, just to have it would have been a victory. Thanks again for yr reply.
@@themerianofamily I just looked too and couldn't find much. The one I had was a Mopar part. Try to find the part number and then do a Google search on that part number. Good luck.
Hey any plans to supercharge it?
Maybe if a kit existed and if it had less miles.
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers waiting for it, i got 5.7 2008
Shoulda kept the xB.. 😅
Lol, the xB's transmission left me stranded on the highway when it decided to leave the chat.
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers oh man, that's rough.. did it pop 2nd gear?
It locked up. It wouldn't go into any gear or even neutral. Had to have it towed to my house and I replaced the transmission with one I bought off of eBay. The starter on the xB also died on me. I was stuck at a Home Depot when it happened. I had to push it in the parking lot and pop the clutch to get home. The AC compressor also crapped out on me. I replaced it. And the alternator died. Did a video on it. Bottom line, any old car will have problems. Some more than others, but they will all fail eventually.
Yellow wire my dude, if it continues. Ive tacked with the yellow starter wire on my 06 4.7 for a few times... sometimes it just needs a cleaning.
Watch the video and reread your comment.
@@ExtremeDailyDrivers ... and this is why I "First" the vids, wouldn't want this comment as a first!
@@JC-hx6md 🤣
First... and this best be a joke!
😉
Sell it and get a secon gen xb
Worst suggestion ever!
It’s because it’s a Jeep. Stick to Toyota or Honda 😂
You're preaching to the choir! Luckily I like a challenge!
I am a Toyota guy too, for my daily driver. But they do not have a fun to drive, quick and off-road capable SUV! The 4runner is underwhelming...
The problem with Toyotas is that they hold their value too well. :) Otherwise, I would have a Sequoia. That is what I was looking for because I wanted something I could easily sleep in and had a V8. If you can get by how awkward and ugly the Commander is, it's a great SUV. As long as it's been well maintained. Thanks for watching.
Great video man! You should look into the key fob remote start 🫡
I actually hate remote start for any car. It can cause a ton of problems. It's just one more thing to fail on this old Jeep. Thanks for watching!
