Default Won't start. Security system?

So I'll start off by saying my jeep is a 92 limited with the 4.0 and aw4.
I went out to leave for work last week sometime and it wouldn't start. The fuel pump primed but it just made this clicking noise when I turned the key, which was followed by the security light and headlights flashing. I thought it was just to starter so I changed it and the same thing is happening. I also tried jumping it with my car and I get the same result.
I've looked at other threads and the only solution I've seen was to unlock the doors in a specific sequence. Problem is, all the doors are off my jeep, including the hatch.
Please help

somewhere under the drivers side dash there should be a small(and I mean small) toggle switch or push button that will shut down the alarm. Usually it is in plain sight of where you are not looking. If it's not there IDK.

Thanks I'll look there.

Has anyone ever removed a security system from one of these old jeeps?
