Battery drain from power door locks on 96 Grand Cherokee

does car drive ok, and with head lamps on?
tell the good an bad, we cant drive it , you must tell the story.
try fuses,
if it dont drive start here.
battery dead?
is first.

The problem is the remote. What I think is happening.... is that the battery in the remote controls all those same functions that you are now manually controlling with your key. The reason the alarm works without the remote is that it is powered by the actvation of the power locks. Go put battery in your remote and I would just about guarantee you that everything will work the way it is supposed to... I wish you good luck. and God Bless\

note that you never once said car can be driven? why?
job1, can you do job 1?
battery is going dead
if head lamps are dim its battery going dead, (not dash HEADs?)
notice is did not say battery was bad only discharged.

if engine starts is charge.battery lamp glowing.
i engine is dead, can crank it.
get a jump, call AAATOW
or find a loaned battery that is charged.
buy a battery charger and use it.

also cars can have phantom drains, as you sleep battery goes dead. (ask)

SOUNDS LIKE A LOOSE WIRE TO CENTREL LOCKING, CHECK WIRING IN DRIVERS DOOR .

this happened to me recently with my 96 grand cherokee. the battery got drained by the alarm going off randomly at night. i pulled the fuse for the horn so at least my neighbors would only be bothered by flashing lights. then i couldn't jump the car because the alarm was still going off. i hooked my car to jump it to another car, and then i had to deactivate the alarm first by putting my key in the driver side door and unlocking the car. then i left it hooked to another car and still getting power but didn't jump it for at least 5 minutes in case the computer needed to reset. then it jumped fine. from what i've read online, this is a common problem that can be avoided if you stop using the power locks and always manually lock and unlock the doors with your key. its a little annoying, but apparently the power locks are connected to the alarm issue. hope the same works for you.

front - 6.5" by 6.5" depth- 3"

in dash - 3.5" depth- 2"

back- 6.5" by 6.5" depth- 3"

I couldn't get my inside lights to go out at all which drained the battery. I ended up taking out the fuse. It works but I have no inside lights (dome, etc) now.

the alternater may need exciting try reving it pretty hard to excite it

When you put the jumper cables on, put the key in the drivers door lock and unlock the door to deactivate the factory alarm.

I have a 5.2L V8 Jeep Grand Cherokee and i know to reset my security system i actually have to go around to the passenger side door and lock and then unlock it again. Seems fairly odd but that's how i was told it was reset. Give it a go and lemme know!
