Car Alarms: 1990 Jeep Cherokee Alarm?, jeep xj cherokee, valet mode

Question
I just bought a 1990 Jeep XJ Cherokee and it will not start. I have tried all the normal things that Jeep owners do in this situation, but to no avail. Then i started to think, maybe it has a factory alarm! The owners manual shows that the little small globe on the ceiling console would be for the remote key-less entry, but I do not have a key remote. So I am not sure if it has one or not and if this could be my problem keeping it from starting?!

Could you help me please?

Answer
Likely to be after market due to the year we
are talking about.

Ok, should be fairly easy. To try to disarm it,
look under the dash area for a button or,
a toggle switch. When you locate it, turn on the
ignition key, press and hold in the button (little
spring loaded micro button, red or black possibly)
until the alarm chirps 1 time. This should over ride
the system, and only the keyless entry part,
if installed, would still be operating.
The LED (light emiting diode) light in the dash
should also go on solid.=VALET/OVERIDE

This stops the alarm except for the keyless
entry if installed. Once in Valet mode,
it will allow the car to start and operate
like there was no alarm at all.

That should solve the troubles for now.
Repeat the steps to toggle back to valet when needed.

Let me know what you discover.
