My 1997 jeep grand Cherokee alarm system keep arming itself about a minute after car is turned off even if car is unlocked with windows down can someone help

Speaking from prior experience, It's possible that the door lock latch assembly may need replacing usually the drivers side or the lift gate latch assembly. These are the 2 that can arm & disarm the alarm system. You may have a faulty switch in either of these. Hope this helps.

How to replace water pump bypass hose on a 1997 cherokee v8

To be able to replace the bybass hose on the water pump, you must first make room to gain access to the hose clamps that attach to the water pump. To make room you must first remove the fan clutch, fan and fan shroud all of them simultaneously.
To do that, start by loosening the tensioner roller with a rathcet and removing the serpentine belt. Then loosen the fan cluthc nut using a 32 mm spaner and loosen the bolts of the fan shroud. Then pull the three things upwards (fan shroud, fan, and fan clutch).

How disable the security systems control 1997 Jeep grand cherokee sport

Hi, the Jeep Grand Cherokee 1997 has a security system called VTSS (Vehicle Theft Security System). The VTSS cannot be disabled as it comes factory installed. What you can do is prevent the VTSS alarm from arming. If you prevent it from arming, you will void it activating. One of the VTSS funcions is to also prevent the engine from starting when the alarm is armed. To disarm the alarm do this. Locate a line colored Violet with a black trace in the Body control module connector. In a suitable place of that line, insert a needle and using a jumper wire touch that needle with an extreme while the other extreme is touching ground. This will disarm the VTSS alarm. When the VTSS is disarmed, the engine will start every time you need it to.

97 jeep grand Cherokee, will start but dies afterseconds,and i cant find egr valve

Of course it is!! You need to demobilize it by pressing unlock on the key after turning the egnition 3/4 of the way on.. then start it. It shouldn't cut out then. But sometimes if your battery is a flat in the keys, which can also leave it imobilized. A kiwi freind of mine bought a 97grand Cherokee a few years back and could start it but it kept on cutting out on him. A beauty maroon 160k on the clock all electrics working he left it sitting in his back yard for years before he found out he had to press unlock in the 3/4 position on the ignition. And by then he'd bought an BMW X5. So I ended up scoring it for free and I also bought a nother of a mate for 1k done 300k but it had good quality things that my freebie didnt, so I built one awsome jeep outa the two.

What size is the axle nut on a 97 jeep grand cherokee 4X4 5.2? Also what size are the E-torx on the back side of the hub?

my socket set goes to 1-1/4": and 36mm.
my e-torx kit has all sizes, one can need.
with no sets. you must measure them. it's not covered in the FSM.
only 175ft/lbs on the axle nut and need for a torque wrench that big.
kit 1:
http://www.sears.com/titan-tools-13-pc-e-torx-socket-set/p-00926107000P?sid=IDx01192011x000001&kpid=00926107000&kispla=00926107000P

the better question is ,is the axle nut SAE or metric.
most real Chrysler built are metric.
so that big nut, at that torque needs 1/2' drive
and the torque wrench to match.
id bet this covers that
http://www.harborfreight.com/13-piece-12-drive-metric-deep-wall-impact-socket-set-67904.html

you could off the hub cap and measure the nut, with a metric rule.
the external torx same. with a caliper measure the head.
then use the e-torx table to mach it.
bet the first ever to post that. its rare to ask.
most folks just have the 2 sets. ( a life time investment if ever there was)
here is the table i uses, if ever
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Torx

good luck working with only 2 bits.

Tail lights dont work but the brake lights do

does your car have DRL option (canada) daylight running lights?)
my answer will be, non export jeep. USA jeep, no one ever says !!!!
the tail lamps are not brake lamps.
they are independant.
there are many parking lamps , and the tails are that.
do all parking lamps fail>? see FSM page 8w50-2
the tails run directly to the park headlight switch pin, marked park.
which gets power from fuse 34
the same switch and pin runs all other park lamps and same fuse 34.
so if the fuse is good, then all lamps are burned out , nah.
or the switch is bad, and can due to so many lights for so long.
if lamps are not dim then here is no short, so must be an open
Fuse 34 tops list , use an ohmeter to test the fuse. or replace it
as , they can get hair line cracks. inside fues
0 ohms = good, infinity = bad fuse.

97 Grand Cheeroke wont start in the morning when its cold out

Is it fuel injected or carb??? Try holding the gas pedal to the floor while turning the jeep over. This sometimes makes gas pump thru to the cylinders. Have you changed the fuel filter???? I know alot of jeeps have a fule filter with a bypass back to the tank, and sometimes the filter will be bypassing to the tank instead of the the motor. Check it out?????

Dash lights keep dimming

Most likely the dimmer switch. Loose connections from the harness connector to the switch can melt the connectors which would cause a poor connection and be the source of the flicker. You may be looking at a combination switch and wiring problem.

Transmission

Check your rear emergency brakes. A brake shoe pin could have broke and the shoe locks up in 1 direction. but not the other. The other problem you mentioned could happen, but if it is in reverse the trans shifted.
