make sure the dome light comes on when you unlock the doors. One of my ZJs would go off all the time randomly until after a couple weeks I finally noticed (at night) that it was that the dome light wasn't always coming on when I used the key...
old car...so things wear out, especially of course the driver door switch/connectors/etc. Sometimes the drivers door won't activate the dome lights for about a week...sometimes it will if you jiggle it...sometimes it will if you pull the key out half turned...
hope its that easy for you
worst comes to worst there is a thread on here about how to rewire and deactivate the alarm

this is not the exact thread I was thinking of, but after a very quick search--

there is another thread, on THIS forum that shows the ground wire to set up under the drivers side dash.
