QuestionI just bought a used 95 Jeep for my son. It only came with the one ignition/door key, no remote. If you use the manual door locks and exit the car, then you use the key to unlock the driver door and push the handle button to open the door, the horn starts beeping, the dash lights up and the 'security' light comes on and the truck will not start up. You have to go around to the gate and insert the key to make it stop. What can we do? If we got a remote clicker from the dealer would that help?
AnswerOk, if the OEM alarm is malfunctioning now,
(car horn blarring and head lights flashing)
odds are, it will again.
Get out some basic install tools or get
a friend or a good technician
in there to do this.
Normally, you would insert the key in
the drivers door, turn left, then right
to disarm and reset it. If yours is malfunctioning,
you can disable it for good by doing the following:
The FACTORY ALARM DISARM WIRE IS
dk. green/purple |- | in the drivers door harness.
|- negative polarity|.
Once Located, splice into this wire with
a simular guage wire, and put it to
a solid chassis ground. This terminates
the OEM alarm functions entirely.
However, at this point, this car would be exceedingly
easy to steel, so I suggest you get an aftermarket
alarm system to protect it from here on in.
If you have already have an after market alarm
however:
(SIREN & FLASHING PARKING LIGHTS= AFTER MARKET
or is it:
CAR HORN & FLASHING HEADLIGHTS= OEM-FACTORY)
Then look for the over ride/valet button under
the dash area, probably to the left leg region,
drilled into the plastic kick panel.
Then it's: KEY ON, PRESS AND HOLD IN BUTTON FIRMLY
UNTIL THE SIREN CHIRPS ONCE, AND THE PARKING LIGHTS
FLASH. THEN KEY OFF.
This is over ride, and the car should start.
The only thing that would work would be keyless
entry if it is installed. The alarm functions
have been suspended.
Let me know which applied to your issue.
Good luck.
