Automatic Door Locks
Hello Everybody,
I'm a newbie to Jeeps and this forum.
I recently purchased a '98 Grand Cherokee. I love it! Except for one little thing, the rolling door locks that automatically engage at about 15 MPH. According to the owners manual, this can be disabled by the dealer. But with a low cash-flow and a dislike for dealer shops in general, is there any way to do this myself?

See if this helps. I found the following instructions on the JK Wrangler Technical Forum. I'm not sure if they'll work for you. If not, maybe someone in the Grand Cherokee Tech forum can help.

CUSTOMER PROGRAMMING
1. Open the driver door, sit in the driver seat, and close the driver door.
2. Turn the ignition switch to the RUN position (without starting the vehicle) and then back to OFF. Repeat this step three additional times (for a total of four key ON/OFF cycles).
3. Within 10 seconds of switching the ignition switch to the OFF position for the last time (at the end of the fourth cycle in the above step), press the driver interior door lock switch to LOCK.
4. A single chime will be heard to verify that the customer programmable toggle of the rolling door locks was successfully completed.
Steps 2 and 3 must be completed within 10 seconds.
NOTE: When toggling the rolling door locks (customer programmable), the toggle that happens will be from the last state of the rolling door locks. If the rolling door locks were enabled, after the toggle process, they will now be disabled and vice versa. There is no telltale to inform you of which state the rolling door locks are in.

Thanks SNIDELYWHIPLASH,
But it didn't work. I guess I'll just stalk the dealer's mechanic to the local watering hole and...
