At my crappy dealership again and they're telling me they don't believe there is proximity on the passenger side. I assumed there was as all my other vehicles with the feature. Can someone confirm this for me, please? They ordered me a new handle and it finally came in... Proximity is still not working on passenger side. Driver and rear gate proximity are fine.

Agreed, there is one on the passenger door. I think theres a setting in the radio to unlock all doors just x door. Might look to see if the passenger door is unchecked.

"sorry sir, we ordered the wrong part..." Thank you both for responding - seemed only right to have it on the passenger side. It hasn't worked since I took delivery.

@SaveUp41 Proximity is also on the tailgate along with ALL doors on a 2dr. With a 4dr. JLU, just the front 2 doors and the also the tailgate have proximity.

If the outside door handle has the little button to lock the door then it has passive entry or it’s supposed to.

If it’s not working, it could be a problem with the door harness connector. There have been reports that the internal pins get bent and don’t connect properly. They can usually be bent back.

With that said for the passenger side to work, you would need the key fob near the passenger door when attempting to open. Your passenger can not simply open the door before the driver door is opened/unlocked unless they also have a fob. As others have mentioned, there is a setting in UConnect that controls how the doors unlock.

Just want to make sure it’s actually not working vs. just a setting needing changed vs. trying to use it as not designed.

See owner’s manual page below.

Hi SaveUp41,
If this continues to not work and you would like to have your dealer look into this again, you may also send us a private message and we will gladly look into this for you.
