Thank you thank you thank you, my problem was a little piece of plastic preventing the shifter to go all the way to P. Thanks! 🙏

[@Mag1cNYC]

Same here, I went to work this morning at 5 a.m., and the piece of plastic flew out right by my right eye, 05 Grand Cherokee 5.7 Hemi limited. Gear shifter cover has been broken for the last 3 months.

What year is this jeep? I have a friend having the same issue on an 09 cherokee

[@MrFixit-vw8kc]

@@andrewsmith4780 this one is 2008 grand cherokee. Give it a go, they all are simmilar and in many cases identical. 👌

[@sbf432]

I have the same symptoms! Is there any fuses connected to that switch that could be blown?

[@MrFixit-vw8kc]

There is no fuse for this microswitsh. It is getting old and starts malfunctioning. Check yours and follow the video, it is easy and verry cheap to fix

👍👍👍

[@gabrielcopak7930]

I have the same problem. Can you advise me what is the type designation of the microswitch?

[@MrFixit-vw8kc]

Hi Gabriel, the microswitch type is D2f-01

[@gabrielcopak7930]

Well thank you. I just want to make sure whether e.g. D2F-01F is fine.

[@MrFixit-vw8kc]

@@gabrielcopak7930 I am not sure of the difference in between two mentioned microswitches. I am sure of the type was on the car and I replaced with exact same one.

[@mrgadget5845]

Can you advise what the grey housing part of the device is called and where to purchase (the whole grey cover piece that houses the micro switch?)

[@MrFixit-vw8kc]

@@mrgadget5845 unfortunately the parts catalogue is not availeable, the grey part is called microswitch housing, you have to request it at local dealer. Or try to find that piece at some written off car junk jard.

Can't find the micro switch for my 2010 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo the # in it is D2F-01 0899R4. where can I find one of these switches

[@MrFixit-vw8kc]

Hi, this type microswitch is verry common. I found one in electronic spare part shop. Not sure where You are located, but try to browse internet for shops near you, or for sure you can find one on ebay.

[@GaryRothermund]

Found a supplier of the micro switch. Installed the new one as directed. The fob is still locked in unfortunately. Any suggestions? Thanks, Gary

[@MrFixit-vw8kc]

@@GaryRothermund that is so difficult to say without seeing the car. If You are sure that newly replaced microswitch is fully functional, could be the fob key release mechanism is faulty. It is impossible to diagnose the problem for you. I am only guessing, and that is not a proper guide. It can lead you in wrong direction. Sugest to see some local electrician. Sorry for not mutch help. Hope you will sort it out. Let me know when you will fix the problem and what was the cause.

[@GaryRothermund]

Thanks, locksmiths can't figure it out. Local steering wheel repair guy in town seems to think what it is. Will let you know.

[@armandoflores8746]

Can I fine the part on the jeep deler???

[@sbf432]

I was just outside working on the Jeep and I could take the battery negative off and the key would come out. And then I put it back on and it would get stuck again.. wth

[@MrFixit-vw8kc]

That is correct, becouse once the battery is off no contacts are energized, but when you reinstate the power the contact enervizes and lochs the key

[@sbf432]

Ok thanks for the Information your the best! Is there anyway the wireless ignition node could have anything to do with the problem as well???? Sry for the dumb questions

[@pantellissantorinios7378]

Will this work on a 2008 jeep Laredo

[@MrFixit-vw8kc]

I believe so. This should be the same car, almost. Apart from some extra features. The mechanism, microswitch I repaired in the viedo should be same on Your Laredo. Hope video helps to solve Your issue too. Good luck 👍

[@kiko-co2it]

what is the name of the whole device, the plastic is broken in my car

[@MrFixit-vw8kc]

Hi Kiko, the plastic where the microswitch is in? That should be microswitch holder. I don't have Jeep parts catalogue, cant give you part nr. Local dealer can help with that spare part for sure.

[@kiko-co2it]

@@MrFixit-vw8kc thank you. i had this problem for a year. you saved me.
