I left my interior light on all nite. Jeep was stone dead in the AM. I jumped it, and its fine. However, the keyless entry no longer works. Just a coincidence? How do I fix it?
Thank all,
D.

if the battery is dead (as in really dead) in the jeep, the keyless entry will not work.

The Jeep is starting fine at this time. I jumped it, and drove it around for a bit. It starts fine now. No problem this morning either. Damn keyless remote is just stone dead. Any idea how to fix it?
Thank you,
D.

fixxing it is easy, take the battery out, go to radio shackm get a new one, put it in.
you need to seperate the remote into two to get the battery out.

sorry, there is an indent (should be) near where the key "ring" goes through. use a flat head screw driver to try to seperate it there. should easily pop apart.
no such thing as stupid questions, only stupid mistakes for not asking a simple question.

if it is not the battery in the remote, then you might have to reprogram the remote to the car. what year/model is your jeep?

was it the battery in the remote? That would be a weird coincidence if the battery died at the same time as your Jeep needing a jump...
If your factory module in the Jeep lost programming, then, as far as I know if it is an XJ, and it was an OEM key fob, you will have to have someone at the dealer program it, since you need a special tool. Most cars have a procedure to program a new key fob (usually opening the door, turning the key a number of times, pressing buttons, etc.) unfortunately for you, I am pretty sure yours has to be done by a Jeep tech. I am sure someone here is a tech, and can help you out. Ask around.
