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.
Hi Andrew: The 1994 Jeep Grand Cherokee

Security System (VTSS). VTSS system monitors vehicle doors, hood,
liftgate and ignition. If an attempt is made to enter or operate vehicle
without proper disarming of system, vehicle horn will sound,
headlights, taillights and parking
lights will flash, and engine will be prevented from running. I have an '93 GC 5.2L V8...

In the 97 Grand Cherokee, after the remote start disarms the factory security system and starts up, the factory security will not rearm, while the vehicle is running.

you have two options: 1 keep the system working properly. In this option all you need to do is replace the key lock cylinder (it contains both the cylinder and electrical contacts in one piece). 2 disable permamently the system, to do thay you locate the violet/yellow wire coming through the hinge rubber hose in the driver door, peel say about half an inche use a splice connector to ground a piece of wirte from there, next cover it with isolator tape and you are all done.
