About: Will this key work in an 89 Jeep Cherokee

Will this key work in an 89 Jeep Cherokee?
I need to get a new key cut for my 1989 Jeep Cherokee Laredo. The key in this link says for 98-01, but is that the years they were given with new cars, or the only years the keys will work with. thanks http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370227338763&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT

Unfortunantly no. The Grand Cherokee changed SKIM modules nearly every year through production. You can cut an 98 key for a 89 vehicle but it will just start and die because that key cannot be programmed for your 89 SKIM module. Sorry.

no, the 89 uses a GM style key. Even the key cylinder in the column is different. Mike http://thejeepguru.com

Which key do you need copied? The ignition uses P1098J (B46), the doors use RA3 (S1970AM). The vehicle doesn't have a SKIM module. The key you posted wasn't used until 1996 and is completely incompatible with your vehicle. (It won't go in)
