Car Alarms: 93 grand cherokee alarm system, valet mode, dash area


Question
I bought a 1993 grand cherokee limited with no remote and the jeep will not start (security light is on and lights are flashing). Can you help?

Answer
Ok, try this.
Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward
all the way just before cranking. Then within
5 seconds, press and hold in the valet/overide
button, found under the dash area,
until the installed LED (the blinking light)
in your dash area goes on solid, and the siren chirps once.
This is overide/valet mode.

(Your valet switch might be the toggle (on/off) type.
in this case, key on, flip switch in opposite direction,
key off.)

This should reset the alarm.

Just Repeat these steps to place it
back to usable armed mode.

That should do it.
If you want to remove it at this point,
take it to your neighborhood installer
for this, or buy the wiring chart for
the vehicle, and reverse engineer it wire
by wire, until it's safely removed.

If it does not work out this way, you will have
to replace the system with one you know how
to operate and what to expect.

Let me know what happens.

FYI

If it's the factory system, then you will need
to locate the factory alarm disarm wire, purple/yellow in the driver kick panel in a black plug. Once located,
splice into it and ground it to the body of the car.

This will disable it permanatly.
