From the net.
Here are instructions, based on advice I found on other websites:
To disable the alarm you need to ground a wire that is running throught the drviers door jam wire harness. It is a violet with a yellow tracer wire. It needs to be put to ground.
On the drivers side in the foot well area just above the hood release mechanism you should see the wire harness that is coming from the drivers door.
In that group of wires, locate the violet with a yellow tracer wire. Do not cut the wire. Instead, strip the violet/yellow plastic off to expose the bare wire.
Get a section of new, similar gauged wire (18 guage works), and strip away the plastic on both ends to expose the wiring. Take one end of this new wire and wrap it around the exposed section of the violet/yellow wire.
Take the other end of the new wire and ground it to the body of the jeep. This will ground the system and should permantly disable the alarm system.
Here is a link that shows a diagram of what I have described:

Yeah.. Brand new battery, crank sensor, coil, cam sensor, still no spark, but if I put a volt meter on it, it says from 5 to 12 volts, it's been the biggest headache
