My new 95 XJ has a Lojack alarm and the recovery system.
The battery in the remote was dead when I got it, so I put a new battery in, and now when I press the button, the light on the remote lights, but nothing happens on the truck. I think the truck sat for a while with a dead battery, so do I need to reset something in the alarm so it recognizes the remote? When I turn the truck off, the alarm chirps once. So I guess the alarm is still working in some capacity. The alarm light on the dash never turns off at all - I don't know if it's supposed to when the truck is running or not. I'm just afraid the thing is going to start blaring and I'll have no way to turn it off.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Ben

I dont know about the lojack system, but many alarms indicate valet mode with the led constant on, and blink when the alarm is active. when the drivers side door is open, a combination of the remote buttons changes from valet to active. on mine (2 button remote) its arm->secondary->arm to switch modes. this may or may not apply to your system, but its worth a shot.

You got it, it was in valet mode. There's a toggle switch tucked up high on the wall under the dash that apparently controls that. Once I flipped the switch off the led turned off and I could arm and disarm the alarm. I hope that doesn't mean a thief could just hit that switch and turn off the alarm. I guess I'll have to test that sometime when it won't annoy my neighbors.
Thanks!
