2000 jeep cherokee, remote start

That happened to me also with the door locks not locking and the 3 beeps.  It took me about an hour to realize what it was.  The problem is your door lock outputs on your remote starter unit must "flip Flop"  what that means is when you press unlock for instance, one wire is negative and the other wire throw out a positive. When you press lock the opposite happens. The JDL-PK only wants to see the negative pulses not the positive, You need to place diodes on both the lock and unlock wires, this will block the postitive pulses. The JDL-PK manual actually says that in the tech notes box. The stripe on the diodes face back towards the alarm module not the JDL-PK. You need one diode per doorlock wire.

As far as the airbag light going on, one of your ignition or accessory wires are not being powered up correctly. Use the wiring chart above and double check your connections with a meter.

I would check your ignition wires with a meter and make sure how they are firing up, as a accessory or ignition. I would check this with the key first. I would start with the BLACK/ orange wire. One site lists it as a ignition the other as an accessory.

As for the bypass, you can check to see if its good by disconnecting the doorlock wires from the module and tapping each one individually to ground. Thats how I figured out I needed diodes. THEN i read it in the manual....

No, I know you won't need a new bypass. you definitly need to add diodes. The manual even mentions 3 horn honks here:

here is a link to the manual for The JDL-PK module, it says it on the very bottom:

As for doorlock wires:

green on the viper goes to the green lock wire on the JDL-PK through the diode

blue on the viper goes to  green unlock wire on the JDL-PK  through the diode

As for the ABS light it is caused by an ignition or accessory wire not firing up correctly during remote start. Its not the JDK-PK causing this.  Remember the remote starter needs to duplicate the key. Take readings of the ignition wires while turning the key, take note on which are ignition and which are accessory, then start remote starting and make sure with your meter that they are behaving the same way. You definitely have some wire at the ignition harness not duplicating what the key does when remote starter. Fix that and away goes your ABS problem :o)

... should i just tap in to the hazard wire and switch the parking lights to pulse instead of constant?

The hazards flash by themselves, regardless of the type of input.

i always use the parking light relay right above the fuses in the drivers side fuse box.  there are a few relays there.  you can verify you have the right relay by pulling them one at a time then checking if the parking lights went out.  you need to look at the actual parking lights outside, not the dask lights. dash lights will stay on with the parking light relay pulled.  then you need to set the viper to negative parking lights.  With the parking light relay out you can test to see witch terminal goes to negative when turning the switch on and off.  at that piont I usually use a "fuse tap" around the matching leg of the relay and plug my relay back in. I then connect my negative parking ight wire to the fuse tap.  Easy as can be, the negative parking light wire will now turn on the parking light relay, thus turning on the parking lights I don't like using the hazard wire because of the blinking parking lights. I like the lights on steady

oh wow! I did write that sorry. I was toggling between instructions for the Viper and the JDL-PK and the12volt.com as my girlfriend was talking to me. I even told her to hold on a sec. I was helping somebody and needed a minute to type and I still wrote it wrong. LOL sorry...
