    check that all battery and cable connections at engine and starter are clean before going anywhere else with this.

I have a 99 jeep grand cherokee 4.7, the alarm went crazy and the wont start. guages dont budge and horn keeps honking and lights flashing. sentry key light is on in guage cluster any help
Sounds like you need to perform a relearn on the anti theft system, it's not recognizing the key if this happens with the key inserted. Might want to look online for a reset procedure for Jeep. GM has you keeping the key in the ignition in the on position for 10 minutes.

Sounds like a dead battery or close to dead. Try jump starting the engine and see if, when it is running, all those symptoms disappear!

Chrysler vehicles are very picky about the voltage. Most likely needs a new battery or alternator. Take it to get the battery and alt. tested.

Sounds like an electrical problem; look for loose, corroded or kinked/broken wires. The problem is most likely in the dash wiring/connections and seems to be pretty common in jeeps.

1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee Died while driving home
check the fuel pump fuse/relay, could be just bad enough to cause an intermittent start/no start. and check fuel pressure,spark and the crank position sensor.
