93 JGC security problems...

Just recently when I unlock my doors manually from the drivers side door the horn will sound and the lights blink and the engine will not start, I have to go to the passenger door to disable. This happens 4 out of 5 times every once in awhile I get lucky and the door unlocks and opens without sounding alarm, if anyone knows how to fix or just disable it please let me know, I tried pulling fuses but then the darn thing won't start, so help Please!!

My guess is that you either have a short in the door jamb or that the disarm switch in the dr. door is going bad. You'll have to take apart the door panel to see what's going on. If you do not care about the alarm, you might be able to just ground out the disarm wire so it never arms.

you have 3 "door lock solenoids" at each key entry. As long as ONE of them work you can manually disable alarm. If they ALL wear out and you lose infrared remote, you're screwed!
Easiest is to purchase another remote(Ebay @$40) and program with below instructions:

1. Put key in ign. Leave in off.
2. Open driver door, leave open throughout.
3. Manually push door lock button to "lock" position, not using electric
door locks, just manually push lock button.
4. Turn ign to "run" position.
5. Within 20 seconds, hold lock button on remote till remote LED flashes
twice and electric door locks cycle on /off.
6. Within 20 seconds, push manual door lock back to "lock" position and
press "lock" button on 2nd remote till it flashes twice and locks cycle
again.
7. Turn ign key to "off" position within 20 seconds.

Try both remotes and see if they work.

Hope this helps,

Other solution is to buy new "door lock solenoid" at this link@$25

I am experiencing the same exact problem with my 1994 jeep grand cherokee. If you do resolve this issue,please let me know what worked for you. Currently I do use my keyless entry remote to unlock the doors. But when my remote battery died, I found it very frustrating that the alarm would sound when I used my key in the drivers side door. I would really like to know if this alarm can be disarmed permanently per I have heard that it is not possible being that it is an anti-theft deterrent, was told the vehicle would not run if the alarm was interfered with. Any feedback would be appreciated.Thanks
