JL Overland Alarm Goes off on it's own

[AlbertDimas2q]

Does anyone have an update to this issue? My wife and I have a 2019 Jeep Unlimited Sahara that has an alarm going off randomly between 3-5 in the morning. We have security cameras and nothing is around the Jeep to set it off. We are in the Los Angeles, California.

Hi. Another owner from the UK with the same issue. I had it on my JK also. Will be booking it in with my dealer soon.

+1 for this issue on UK JL Sahara, no wind, no folded seats and nothing in the car, fires up the alarm around 1 minute from locking the doors randomly.

Hi all,

New to wrangler ownership having taken delivery of a JL unlimited in Punk'n a few weeks ago. Looks like I'm the latest to be effected with alarm issues. Can someone confirm what each press should do on A UK wrangler before I give the dealer a call.

Thank you in advance

Only aware about pressing once to lock the car and set the alarm - and pressing four times to just lock the car without setting the alarm. Recently had 'alarm' light glow red when I started the car and stay lit for 20 seconds (it should go off right away when you unlock the car). Back to dealer.
Again.
They said it signified that one of the sensors wasn't communicating with the controller.
Reset and light is now extinguished.
There was i thinking that all the alarm issue were behind me...

Thank you, appreciate the quick reply. Will get it booked in. Hopefully they can sort my creaking seat belt buckle at the same time.

Car booked in for 9th March (earliest they had a courtesy car). Apparently the alarm is a very common issue. Fingers crossed that means they know how to fix it.

Thank you for your help

I saw a similar problem on another Wrangler website. They said they found several loose fuses and relays and after pressing them in fully, the problem went away.

We are happy to see that you are working with your dealer on this. If you do feel that you require additional support, I recommend finding a Jeep customer care team that works from the UK. You may be able to find more information here: https://www.fcacountryfinder.com/

I am from the UK, I have 2018 2.2 Diesel Overland (4dr).

When I use the key fob or the button on the door handle to lock the Jl, about a minute later the ALARM keeps going off. No matter how many times i try to unlock and re lock the car, it still happens.

The only way i can make it stop is by clicking lock 4 times on the fob, then I hear a double beep from the Wrangler and the alarm does not go off anymore.

Anyone else experienced this?

(This used to be intermittent, now it happens all the time, quite annoying to have to press lock 4 times).

Good morning
I have just found out that the interior sensors are over sensitive and Jeep has just put out a bulletin to the UK Dealerships to change all 5 sensors *******NOTE ****** it to me 6 phone calls to 6 different Dealerships to find this out as none of them had a clue !!!!! they all knew about this issue but NOT how to fix it !!!!!
Also on a different subject i,ve just bought/ fitted a Sunrider from Bestop they are really good

[ziggyniva]

So I apparently need 5 new alarm sensors and some foam... All on back order. There is also a software update for my stereo audio randomly not working
