The fuel pump shuts off when the alarm is turned on. That's why it stalled on you. You need to unlock he door with the key or the fob to shut off the alarm. And if your windows are down and you reach in and unlock the doors manually or with the button, the alarm will still go off when you open the door.
The truck beeps for 3 minutes and flashes the lights for 15 minutes. Then, when you go back to it and unlock it, the horn chirps 3 times to tell you that the alarm had gone off so you can make sure no one screwed with your truck.
So I installed the flux capacitor but the Jeep just won't do 88 mph.
