The alarm in your 2001 Grand Cherokee can be annoying if you are trying to make any kind of repair to your vehicle. This alarm is designed to be a deterrent to auto theft, but will go off during the repair process. If you want to disable the car alarm, you have a couple of options -- either removing the fuse for the alarm or removing the power supply from your alarm. When you take the power away from the alarm, you will be able to make your repair in peace.
Instructions
1 Locate the hood release latch on the front of the Grand Cherokee and open the hood.
2 Locate the negative terminal on the Cherokees battery. This terminal has a -- sign next to it.
3 Loosen the terminal with a pair of channel locks.
4 Remove the terminal from the Cherokees battery to disable the car alarm.
5 Go to the drivers side of the Cherokee and locate the fuse box to the left under the steering wheel.
6 Pry open the fuse box with your fingers.
7 Consult your user manual to get the location of the alarm fuse.
8 Remove the alarm fuse from the fuse box to disable the car alarm with the fuse puller in your fuse box.

Many motor vehicle accidents occur because other drivers and pedestrians dont see other vehicles until its too late. The daytime running lamp system on a 2004 Toyota Corolla turns on the headlamps at a reduced brightness level whenever the engine is running in order to combat this problem. This system helps other drivers and pedestrians to see the vehicle, reducing the likelihood of accidents and other potentially dangerous situations. In order to service the daytime running lamp system and make certain repairs, the daytime running lamp relay must be disconnected from the engines wiring harness.
Instructions
1 Turn off the engine and apply the Corollas parking brake. Shine a work light under dashboard, near the upper-right pedal area.
2 Locate the daytime running lamp relay; it is mounted on the right side of the foot well area. It is attached to the right under-dashboard wall, adjacent to the gas pedal. It is a small, square black relay and is third in a row of relays, furthest from the firewall.
3 Lift the locking tab on the relays connector with a small flat-head screwdriver and remove the relays electrical connector.
4 Start the engine and confirm that the daytime running lamps do not turn on. When youre done with your testing or repair, reconnect the daytime running lamp relays electrical connector and confirm that the lamps operate properly.
