Jeep cherokee sport (year 2000) -- re: bypass for remote ignition

Hi there,

I have a 'jeep cherokee sport year 2000' and I am installing a remote starter ignition that is part of the alarm system purchased for the car. The people at the 'geek squad' at Best Buy said that I would need to buy a 'bypass'. Called the dealership, they said that there is no bypass for this car and that I will probably have to install a second master key close to the ignition.

not sure I understand this -- do i need a 'bypass' or can another 'master key' do the trick? Lastly, I do not see how another key will do any thing as the current key that I use on the jeep is not electronic -- it is a just a regular car key.

thanks in advance for any help or insights

If you went to jeep
they'd tell you not to do that(use what you bought)
Jeep has the right parts....

why to go geeks , its car not a PC.

your car has the IMMO called SKIM. (complex , RTM yet, no)
it will not be hacked by ANY geek or box.
JEEP uses, rolling encrypted codes to start the engine.
SKIM allows it.
your trying to bypass that with out jeeps help is nuts.
over the top, waste of time or even worse DANGEROUS.

why put this junk on your car.?
the car works great with out it.!
then late, you need car fixed and your mechcanic
needs to jump hoops to discover what some other idiott did.
hacking up a good working car.
or far far from town and it fails, and nobody can help
you did that to your self.!!!

here, go to jeep
buy the MOPAR system if H3ll bent to have this junk

SOURCE: My mopar dealer installed remote starter in my

there are different sensitivity settings for the system as well if you have tilt wheel the wires over time tend to bend and become brittle as well as break from use this i assure you is notorious with tilt wheel however the "remote start should not be disconnected instead looked at to ensure it is properly installed ...this is a feature that i have recently installed on my own vehicle ...the wiring is connected into the ignition system and into the lights as well one wire to the coil it should be white ...the remote is a box with wires under the steering column it may be possible a wire was incorrectly installed or the sensitivity level to your alarm needs adjustment sometimes if the level is too low ..the wind will cause it to go off or a stray cat , a pine-cone falling etc ...but the dealer should be able to remedy the issue as this is under warranty

I need to bypass my AC compressor and clutch belt so that I can still drive it until I can replace it on my 1997 Jeep Cherokee sport... NOT Grand Cherokee sport

if there is nothing wrong with the ac pulley bearing , just disconnect the power to the compressor and use it as an idle pulley
because the ac pulley is in the system , and another belt that by passes that pulley will have the belt grooves running on a flat idler and the belt life is considerably reduced to over come that will require another idler pulley and bracket

Short in ignition harness shutdown jeep cherokee sport

If its completely not doing anything, it may be the park-neutral safety switch- it engages when you put the jeep into park,and if bad will not let anything happen- its as if the jeep is still in gear, and it kills everything. Jiggle your gearshift, go in and out of park a few times- might help.
Other fix is to open the hood, find the starter relay, remove the black plastic cover over the relay guts, and with the ignition switch on, press down on the relay- it bypasses the safety switch,and should start right up. You won't shock yourself- we've been doing it intermittently for two years.
