Headlights come on doors unlock
30

Asked by Zera2700 Aug 11, 2020 at 12:25 PM about the 2010 Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Sahara 4WD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2010 Sahara jku 4 door automatic.
I’ll use the fob and lock the doors. At some point
the headlights will come on and the doors will
unlock. The key fob could be hanging up in the
house or laying on a table. My wife has woken up in  
the early morning and
Seen my lights on.
I’ve changed the fob battery, checked battery
ground disconnected some accessories and
checked car battery.
Someone mentioned the key fob is constantly
transmitting, alarm may be causing problem. I’m
going to try and pull alarm fuse and see if the Jeep
will still start and if this may fix my problem
Anyone have any ideas why this is happening?

I think I have figured out the problem. The fob I have been using is transmitting all the time. Recently when I was out camping my lights came on at night at least 8 times that I noticed. The next morning I removed the battery from the fob, I had the second One with me, and since then I’ve not had the problem. It had to been the original fob. No problems in the last 2 weeks
