You may want to have the wiring harness inspected. A major section under the fuse box(hood on 96 GC 4.0) may become chafed by a close proximity AC gas hose connector. My mechanic said it was slowly chewing at the harness. It caused me fuel pump problems, but your intermittant problem could be similar.

The plunge switches in the doors are not staying completely open (door
closed) Also there may be a corroded ground connection as well as corrosion in the switches.

My 2001 Jeep Grand Cherokee Loredo, straight six, is having a problem that the oil pressure gauge goes to 0 and my check gauges light comes on but when i accelerate it goes back up and the light goes off. ...

Your problem could be the result of a bad pressure sending unit but I would take care of that immediately. If the pressure doesn't return to normal after installing the new unit, do not drive 'til you have a mechanical gauge installed and the actual pressure checked and the problem corrected.

Alarm goes off for no reason. 97 Jeep grand Cherokee.

There is a security system built-in to the Jeep Grand Cherokee during these years. The reason the alarm goes off is because of a change in the electrical system (like shutting a door) that triggers the alarm. To stop the alarm, either disarm with the remote or unlock the door from the outside with the key. This will shutoff the alarm.
