Default owner lost key fob for alarm

Hello All,


I just recently purchased a used 1997 Jeep Grand Cherokee and the previous owner lost the alarm key fob. Occasionally all of the lights without warning come on! I am forced to pull off of the road and shut the car off. Where can I get a new key fob?

Dealer, audio store can do a whole new remote start system, ebay then get it cut and programmed

You can also disable the whole alarm system too bypassing the security system its pretty easy. Either they threw the door, hatch or kick panel I can't remember which one does it.
