This is an OEM unit that will require re-programming to your VIN by a dealer or locksmith before it'll recognize your key. Part numbers 05026072AN and 05026072AO are cross-compatible for this generation. Ships Mon–Fri same day before 3pm EST. — Hubes

Please note: WCM/SKREEM wireless control module, option-gated (catalog codes GXX/GXM/XGM) — the Wrangler uses sibling bases 5026074/5026071, not this one. Ford service part 68223406AA supersedes the 5026072 series. Dealer PIN + VIN programming required; module is VIN-locked once programmed — used modules need a professional reset.

Read the full transcript
Symptoms of a bad skim or scream on your Dodge Chrysler Jeep vehicle. If your vehicle is experiencing a crank no start or a start install issue, listen up. Chrysler's Century Key Emobilizer Module or SKIM is infamous for locking you out. Symptom 1, the engine starts. The engine runs for exactly two seconds, then dies. Symptom 2, a flashing round security light or a crossed out key symbol illuminated on your dashboard. Symptom 3, a crank no start, accompanied by fault code P06, 3, 3, meaning skim key not detected. If your key transponder isn't communicating with the transceiver ring, your engine computer will automatically shut fuel delivery down. Do not replace that PCM just yet. Head on over to my website, try our Fitment tool out or put your make model in gear in the comments and we'll help you find the skim for your vehicle.
