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?

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.
