My son's 92 XJ apparently has an OE Alarm system that has shut his rig down. We bought it used ~ 1 yr back and it only came with the ignition & door lock key. No alarm fob & the person we bought it from never mentioned an alarm.
Yesterday morning he got out of his XJ to go in the grocery store and when he tried getting back in the alarm activated for the first time ever. Horn blowing and lights flashing. I wasnt there and he called me. Tried disconnecting the battery for a few hrs to reset and that hasn't worked. Tried using the key in ignition on/off/on to no avail. Tried locking / unlocking the door a couple times with key & that hasn't worked.
The only thing I can find when searching the forum & Google is to splice/ground a green/orange wire or a purple/green wire coming off the fuse block under dash on drivers side.
Since I'm not physically able to check it out myself any help I can get here to pass along would be appreciated. Also of note, it's been pretty cold with Temps in the teens the past couple of days. Help or a how to is very appreciated!
