From the shop

The SKIM on the '05–'07 Commander is the immobilizer module that pairs your key to the engine. When it fails, the truck cranks but won't start, and the theft light flashes — even with a good key. This one is OEM tested and ready to go. You'll need your dealer or a locksmith to marry it to your existing keys; takes about 20 minutes and a scan tool. Direct fit, no programming on our end. Ships Mon–Fri 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.
