Ok my issues are still ongoing. To recap, random no start no drank after driving about 30 minutes. I can get it to start by using the battery cable remove, touch, reconnect . All power is on and works when this happens. Jeep specialist had it for a month, replaced the ignition. Threw codes regarding skim codes. Went to dealer, estimated $1200 to replace skim module. I ran a new ground cable from neg to alternator. No bad grounds to engine block . No trans temp issues. Very hard to get the skim codes to read. No other codes read. Replaced entire engine wiring harness with mopar factory parts. Won’t start in neutral, or in 4 low. Starter is good, new battery, etc! New batteries in all keys. Very frustrating.

Here’s my questions. Has anyone used the reprogramming service to remove the skim module successfully? If so who do you recommend? I’m not 100% sure that the skim module is bad. The problem only occurs when it has been driven awhile. No blinking, or constantly on anti theft light any time!! Next time this happens I’ll do the fuse pulling thing. Before I reset with the battery cable.
I really don’t want to take to the dealer and spend$1200 just to see if it works. I have searched all the you tube, forums, google search, nothing matches the problems with this. Any ideas? Thanks.
 
Do you still have the junk Factory battery clamps on, if so they need to be replaced with some HD ones?

Do you have a little red dot in the upper right corned of the dash cluster when this happens?
