As the title states “Keeping key fob in Jeep” is there any harm in doing so, not like keeping it in there all the time for obvious reasons but in the past with other vehicles that had keyless entry and keyless start I just kept the fob in the console while garage kept.
It was stated to me in another thread on a start message staying lit that it may be caused by leaving the fob in the vehicle and the vehicle may think it’s getting ready to be started, it was stated that leaving the fob in the vehicle can also cause unessary drain on the batteries.
When ever I get into the Jeep to start I get the message below in the display cluster and it goes out once started but upon shutting off the Jeep and getting out this same message is lit and normally goes out but there does not seem to be a set time on it going out like sometimes it takes a 2-3 mins and the other day it never went out until I restarted it and shut it back off so does leaving the fob in it cause it to stay lit longer ?
