QuestionI recenlty bought this Jeep and so far it has been nothing but problems. After getting all the other stuff worked out it turns out that this Jeep has a factory installed alarm system. I do NOT have the remote to it, and it turned itself on this morning and I had to disconnect the battery cable to get it to stop. I am at my wits end with this car. Is there a way to disable the alarm system?
Answerok, a bit of work is involved in shutting it
down, but doable.
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. Yours was reset.
Try key in the drivers door, turn left, then
right to diasrm and unlock. If no joy,
you can disable it for good by doing the
following:
The FACTORY ALARM DISARM WIRE IS
purple/yellow at the drivers side
door harness.
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.
