I bet your dealer can program it out for you.

That would be a liability if you use your Jeep for survailence work. Cop, private eye, etc.

My headlights DO NOT come on when the ignition is turned from on to off. Maybe the dealer can fix it four you...

Do they come on when you disarm the vehicle?

Yes, if I use the key-less entry remote, the headlights do come on.

And with the ignition on and the headlights on, turning the ignition off first and then turning the headlights off, the headlights will stay on for 15 or 30 seconds.

But with the ignition on and the headlights on, turning the headlights off first and then turning the ignition off, the headlights do not turn back on.

Cheap plastic on interior. check
Plastic window on soft top. No Prob.
Spartan interior finish everywhere except dash. Fine by me.
Lights turn on when I unlock my car. Deal breaker.

Dealer went through the scan tool options or whatever... said that lights could not be made not to go on. Now, I'd like to know how the keyless entry/alarm is wired into the vehicle so I can mess with it/remove it.

If you turn the headlights off before you shut off you engine, they don't come on when you arm the alarm/lock doors with key...

if you turn them off after you shut off engine, they do stay on...
