First i was having starting issues randomly and would have to try a few times switching it to the on position.
Now my jeep starts but wont shift out of park unless i use the shift lock lever.
Brought it to a mechanic and he ran diagnostics and concluded it was a bad tipm. He quoted me 1500.
I’m wondering can I install this myself? Do i need it flashed and what part should i buy i keep seeing multiple parts with different part numbers?
My vin is 1J4RR4GG3BC523029

Unless you order it preprogrammed no. It's easy to install BUT must be programmed to vehicle in order to operate.
