The alarm in my 97 Jeep Grand Cherokee goes off when I unlock the drivers side door and open it. I haven't even owned the Jeep more then a year so I don't know everything about the alarm. It usually just shuts off when you unlock the door. I tried turning the car on but it shuts off right away and I couldn't find a switch under the dash. I really don't want the alarm anymore, I just wanna be able to get into my car with no problem.

The alarm is some sort of Python 1400 or other. I'll start my car multiple times in a day, and then sometimes, the alarm will just decide to kill the ignition. I can still hear the fuel pump go, and the relay clicking and the lights dim.
I've timed it (because it's happened so many #$%^%^&*@! times), and I have to wait exactly 15 min before it will work again. If I try to start it before the time has elapsed, it will reset the timer.
How can I disable this God-forsaken feature or just plain disable the crappy alarm system altogether?
Also: I know about the valet switch and it is off. The little red light blinks when I arm the system and turns off when I unarm it.

I have an older Viper 300 esp alarm in my car from years back and it works fine but lately whenever I start my car up the thing beeps 3 times for a total of about 5 times then it's fine. The beep is coming from the actual alarm unit and not the horn of the unit so I find it strange this is happening. I checked all the fuses and they seem fine and the alarm engages and disengages like it's supposed to. Any ideas?
I didn't install the alarm a professional installer did.
