Wow - two dead keys and I thought i was screwed. Watched this and was like - that can't be it. It absolutely was it. You're a genius for sharing this thank you!

After 3 years this fixed my problem! Not a necessity but definitely a convenience. Thank you!

2 years. That's how long I have been trying to figure out how to fix this .tried everything I had found online .dealer quoted $600 for two new keys and reciever another $400 for ignition plus labor .installed stereo 2 years ago and threw that antenna away accidently never put 2 and 2 together . $18.45 part at dealer figured what the hell worth a shot plugged in nee antenna EVERYTHING functions now you have no idea how much I appreciate this short video THANK YOU

No way i gotta try this in the morning

Aug 2023, had a repair done to my 2013 Durango. I guess they unplugged this and wanted to charge to fix it … you saved me thanks

Mate you are a genius and a life saver. Had just had the rear compartment apart and looked at the little plug but couldn't find anywhere for it to go so didn't worry about it. Would never thought to go back there. Incredible and thank you so much.

I found the same piece in my 2012 JGC. The black part was connected to the wire. I disconnected it for about 1 minute l, reconnected and the key fob works like new! Good work i was about to go buy some batteries in the morning!

You saved my life, thank you so much for this amazing video 🙏🏻

Definitely been having this problem in my 2013 overland. Gonna check back there shortly!

Great great great video! The only one that I’ve seen that has made me say, “that’s it ! That’s the problem. I’m going to my car now to check it out”. I had some work done to my car and the mechanic had to put the spare on so he must have touched that wire and accidentally unplugged it somehow. Sure enough I popped my trunk, pulled up the plastic and there it was. I plugged it in and it immediately worked. It’s been 1 year! Glad I saw this video! Thank you!!!

Omg ,thank you ! Fixed my problem couldn't figure it out .

Worked perfectly, thank you for this!

Thanks I saved some money 💰 I changed the 27 fuse and work

Amazing bro…genius

How did you open that plastic bit to access the wire? I'm struggling to do it currently

Thanks Man! Tenía exactamente el mismo problema. Excelente video. Muy buena explicación. Muchas gracias.

Thank you!!! This was a lifesaver!

Thanks man, you just fixed my jeep. It was unplugged.

Awesome this just fixed my problem i had it a mechanic check the air bags when i picked it up i had this problem went and got battery for fob still not working then i watched this and bingo thanks mate

GREAT VIDEO 💯

Dang! You just saved me a trip to the shop. Fixed it right away.

I have a problem if you have an idea about the topic. When I turn on the air conditioner, the compressor does not work until I turn off the vehicle. After it starts, I turn off the air conditioner button. The compressor continues to work even though I turn off the air conditioner button, and I must turn off the vehicle and restart it until the compressor stops.

Oooooh thank you very much i was going to kiy shop to find the problem

wawooo dude you are genius it worked for me thank you

Very common issue. If you turn the key around and insert it, put your foot on the break, turn it once wait a few seconds turn it twice your lights engage should come on and then crank it.

This has happened twice w my Jeep. Such a friggin PIA!!!!!

Thx so much! I was wondering what the hell the wire was!

It🎉 work perfect 👍 thank you

So, my 2011 Jeep grand cherokee overland is sort of having this same issue, and please someone help ! Here is how it went... my jeep had been popping up with the notification that key was not detected, even though my key was literally sat on my dash. Fast foward a few days, I remote started the jeep no problem. Went to get in my jeep and when i pressed on my break and start button it read remote start disabled. Press break and push start. However, when I did this, it did NOT start. I can unlock and lock and even open trunk with my fob. We changed the batteries. So when i attempted using the fob to push in key spot it reads damaged key. Does anyome have any advice ?? My jeep has been fidgety since i bought it 2nd hand.

Good video. Hey, I am having a problem with my radio it has no sound may I ask why were you messing with the amplifier?

My part seems to be screwed in or something so I can’t get my hand in to plug the wire it in.

I replaced a push start button for a 2017 Jeep Cherokee, and it was working fine. However, in the morning, it wouldn't start. I tried disconnecting the battery, but it didn't help. Also, the push start button remains in the "run" position and won't go back to "off."

Did you ever fix the tire pressure system notification that popped up? Mine just came on and I’m not sure how to fix that lol

I love you you saved me

Could this also be caused by a front headlight being taken off? Backyard mechanic took off my front headlight to reach something and now i'm getting the Damaged Key error. Any help is appreciated thanks

I wonder if this would work in my 13 durango. I’ve been having the same issue for months.

This was exactly my problem when I changed my factory amp...only problem is the wires came out of my harness. Now i have to figure that out

Any idea what's the reason when we turn the key no lights open the meter and no start jeep grand Cherokee

I’ll be damned, it worked. But mine wasn’t popped out, I just had to give it an extra push in. Question: should I take it in to have that wire connector replaced? Is it gonna be a recurring problem? What could’ve caused it in the first place?!

🤯 and just like that my 2011 Durango is fixed

Checked mine and was still connected. The issue I have is that everything works the car remotes starts and everything but the push start doesn't work. It says damaged key. I can remove it and crank it over fine. It's just the push start that doesn't work. But everything else is fine

Can I buy that black piece that the wire goes into

The problem on my 2011 keep grand Cherokee is the I try turning it on it’s working but then it turns on and then it turn off and then I have to make my son turn it in for me

No puedo creerlo esto me tenía mal😢😢😢😢

What’s the name of the part you fixed, accidentally broke mine

make video if installing start/stop button

Do you happen to know the name of the part, found the wire out but what it plugs into is completely missing

I have a similar issues but that didnt work

that is a number 4 antenna

Still working for u

I’m actually missing this piece and having the same problems lol. Wish someone knew what that part was called or a part number 🫤
