I have a 98 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo with 160k on it that was in a minor accident. Damage is to the front but the airbags did not deploy. The Jeep will start but shuts right down. I assume the factory alarm is shutting it down. Locking and unlocking the door, doors or rear hatch disarms the alarm but does not solve my problem. How can I disable the factory alarm?

i don't know how much damage you got,but behind the grill back side of bumper is main wiring harness to vehicle,which holds the ign feed wire(among @20 other wires)red/wht @ 10 guage,i have repaired this wire for corrosion w/ the start stall symptom,you might have stressed it and this may/may not be your problem, but it's a good place to start,make sure you ck where it wraps around the sides of the core support. it's a pain to cut all of the tape and loom loose though.ck. it out let me know if you find what i described,i probably fixed @25 of these when i worked at a jeep dealer . happy hunting
