Jeep Cherokee KL, Renegade & Fiat 500/Egea Steering Lock Replacement and Emulator Service

If your Jeep Cherokee KL, Renegade, Fiat 500, or Fiat Egea fails to start despite a working key, the problem may be a faulty Electronic Steering Lock (ESL/ELV). This common issue prevents the steering column from unlocking, leaving the vehicle immobilised and unable to start.

At Mr. Ignition, we supply and program brand-new steering lock units and emulators for these models. Our professional mobile service offers a fast and cost-effective alternative to main dealer replacements.


Common Symptoms of a Faulty Steering Lock

  • Steering wheel remains locked when pressing the ignition

  • Vehicle powers on but engine will not start

  • “Steering Lock Fault” or “Immobiliser Active” warning on the dashboard

  • Clicking or no response from the steering column

  • Intermittent or complete no-start condition


Compatible Jeep and Fiat Models

Our steering lock replacement and emulator service covers:

  • Jeep Cherokee KL (2014–2022)

  • Jeep Renegade (2015–2022)

  • Fiat 500

  • Fiat Egea (2021–2023)

Compatible Part Numbers: 52185640, 52041945, 51995940, 50154862, 50154863, 68145593AF/AB/AE/AC/AD


Common Fault Codes

Typical fault codes for these vehicles include:

  • B2780 – Steering Lock Control Fault
    Indicates a mechanical or electronic failure in the steering lock.

  • B2781 – Steering Lock Position Error
    Lock fails to switch between locked and unlocked states.

  • U1000 – CAN Communication Fault
    Communication lost between the steering lock module and vehicle ECU.

  • Immobiliser Active / Steering Lock Fault
    Prevents the vehicle from starting even with a valid key.

These codes are common when the ESL/ELV fails and prevent the engine from starting.
