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

it use to do it but no longer does for some reason.the dome lights do come on when i open the doors but not when i unlock it with the key.this alarm stoped working over 5 yrs ago till i installed 2 15" subs and when i play it loud then park it it works theres time if i dont play it loud or at all the alarm doesnt work.it seems like if something is loose or on its way out.even the chime buzzer has been acting up.it sounds for about 20 min then starts to beep almost sound like its sending morse code.then its quit after the truck warms up.i dont get it.im ready to diconnect it.

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

http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f13/h...ml#post5762146

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