This OEM immobilizer transceiver, part number 05026173AE, fits 2005–2010 Chrysler Town & Country, Dodge Grand Caravan, and Jeep Liberty. Also fits 2005–2007 Dodge Caravan.

From the shop

The SKIM module controls key recognition and fuel pump authorization on Dodge, Jeep, and Chrysler minivans and compact SUVs — when it fails, the engine cranks but won't start, and the theft light flashes. This is an OEM unit that will require re-programming to your VIN by a dealer or locksmith before it will communicate with your vehicle. Direct fit for 2005–2010 Caravan, Town & Country, and Liberty. Ships Mon–Fri same day before 3pm EST. — Hubes

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.
