You washed your mobliser of your jeep now it wont start what can you do?

Mobliser? I assume you are wanting to say that you opened your hood and washed the engine? If this is correct then you probably got water into electical connections and shorted something out. This would be especially valid if you used a car wash or power washer with water under high pressure. If that's the case then you could have damaged just about anything under the hood. Generally speaking, high pressure water under the hood is usually a bad idea.
