How do you program a transponder key for a Jeep Wrangler?
Can I program a new transponder key for my Jeep Wrangler myself, or do I need a professional?
Heather Bernhard · Updated on

Great question, and one I’m happy to help with. You can absolutely program a transponder key for a
Jeep Wrangler
yourself, as long as you know the procedure. Here’s what you need to do (note: you will need two already programmed and working transponders): - Insert the original transponder into the ignition and turn the ignition to ON. Leave it there for 5 to 10 seconds, then turn it to OFF.
- Remove the transponder from the ignition.
- Within eight seconds, insert your second already-programmed transponder into the ignition and turn it to the ON position. The security light should turn on, which indicates the vehicle is in “learning mode”.
- Once the security light turns on, turn the transponder to the OFF position.
- Within 40 seconds, insert the new transponder into the ignition and turn it to the ON position.
- In 15 seconds or less, the security light will turn on for three seconds. This means the new transponder has been programmed and can start the car.
