((And also in addition to previous posts my jeep's whole electrical system instrument panel used to flicker on and off very crazily for no reason but when I would turn the jeep off and back on the instrument panel would light up normal . Took it to dealership and they never could find a problem and now it has not happened luckily anymore in the past couplen years ....))
I've had similar problems. I got the car used (180,000 miles now) and I don't know how many owners before me, but I didn't get a door remote to lock and unlock the doors. Have to use the key. I found that if I lock the doors with the switch inside, shut the door and leave, the alarm goes off within 5 minutes. Have to use the key in the driver door to reset the alarm. Also had left the dome light on and the battery died. I couldn't get it started via jumper cables....lights just kept flickering and the ignition clicked....until I thought about resetting the alarm with the key in the door....and it started fine. It's inconvenient but door reset seems to solve the problem for me. Hope it helps.
Once the battery went dead and had to have the jeep jumped, it triggered the alarm which kept the car from running after a couple of seconds. I had to reset the alarm. Since I don't have a door lock remote, I simply used the key in the door, turned it like I was locking and unlocking which reset the alarm.
On mine, which is a bit old and beat up (3rd, 4th 10th? owner), if I don't use the key to lock the doors, the alarm will go off 5-10 minutes after I leave the car. Still can't figure that one out but maybe this will help. Good luck.
On startup no gages,no warning lights,no read out from the status control pannel, and no turn signals.
Removed negative battery terminal connector for an hour then reconnected it to the battery.
This seems to have corrected the problem.

Last trip to the dealer found no fault. Second failure they changed the battery and now three weeks later back to square ne.
Any thoughts?
Because the radio and panel features stopped working. the best guess would be the wiring to the automatic switch assembly(or the assembly itself) that allows the radio to stay on when the switch is turned off until the door is opened.
We need to start calling this number from Dept. Of Transportation
NHTSA to make this issue become a recall, 1888-327-4236
Spread the word! We don't have to pay out of pockets if it becomes recalled !!!
If the alarm works all day at work with no problem, I would consider that someone is screwing with you. Maybe they don't like where you park or something.
Alternatively, maybe your battery is running down after X hours and your alarm is responding to the drop in current.
Any help would be appreciated.
if u get it running can u please help me by letting me know what u did.
thank you
with the doors are unlocked, if I open a door the dash lights and the 4-ways start flashing, I have to hit the power unlock switch to turn off the flashing lights or it wont start, If the doors are locked, I have to unlock the passenger side door or the alrm will go off, even when I unlock the passenger side door, the lights still flash and I still have to hit the unlock button.
I have cut the violet wire with the yellow stripe, that comes in from the fire wall on the drivers side floor board, and grounded it, that was supose to have disabled the alarm, that didnt work, and I have even removed the security alarm module.
the alarm doesnt come on now when I unlock the drivers side door, but the light still flash when I open any door, and if I dont hit the unlock button to turn em off, it will drain my battery.
does anyone have a clue as to how to fix this??????
Now alarm goes off intermittently, once while car was running and I was parked, another time when no one was even near the car and I was in a building. Don't dare lock it. Dealer says can't see a problem.
Thanks!!
Also check the driver side wire just in case.
Hope this helps
Does your entire radio/navigation stop working or just Sirius xm? Hope I don't have to look forward to my alarm going off next.
So I put pen to paper and wrote to the service manager with a copy to Chrysler's headquarters here in Australia. I told him that I would pay the costs if the stalk was found to be OK.
It was the stalk. They replaced it under warranty and Chrysler also followed up to make sure I was happy.
So try it. What I have learned is that if Chrysler don't issue a recall or fault docket then the dealers won't look at it.
They still haven't issued a recall for these faults so maybe it would be worth it over your way.
You can quote me.
