I was wondering if you could help me. I bought a used 2002 jeep liberty sport. I have power locks and keyless entry(remote). My insurance company says my vin shows I have a security system, but no alarm goes off when I rock it(yes I hit the button on the remote). Do I have the security system?

Open up the windows and lock it with the remote. Now, reach in and pull the little door lock thingy up and open the door. The alarm should go off.
Also, do you have a red flashing light on your instrument panel when you engage the locks?

I tried putting the window down. locking it with the remote and reaching in to unlock it like you said and no alarm went off. Also I have no blinking red light went I lock it with the remote. Is there a chance it is disabled? Why would the insurance company say it has one?

Insurance company probably just doesnt know any better. Its possible it lowered your rates so dont complain to them.
If you do not have a red light that blinks on the instrument cluster then you probably dont have it.
When you have the window down, after you lock it, wait at least 1 min before opening the door.

SHHHHHHHH. You get a discount on full coverage for having an alarm so let them be right this time. They are already raking your over the coals for having a $x$.

Un-fix it. the $x$ was part of the joke. It is a bit odd that the $ and the 4 are on the same key.
Oh, and you only get a 4x4 discount in Colorado.

Try getting a build sheet from Jeep.com. It will tell you everything.
twepper....do what Jeepster said. He answered your question. If no flashing light on dash and no alarm going off when you open the door like he said, then you don't have an alarm. That is possible I guess with the earlier models.
To find out for sure if you are past that point of testing it and it doesn't go off, just get a build sheet, it's fast and free, and that will tell you everything that was installed on your jeep when it left the factory.

We have to here to even get plates on the vehicle, and if the vehicle is financed, it's got to have full coverage. Knew a guy back in 2004 that had a SS Camaro he financed through GMAC. Stored it for the winter and pulled the insurance. A month later he got a stern letter from GMAC demanding he put coverage back on.
Anyway, I think the insurance company is looking at the Sentry or whatever system the '02's had. Didn't they have some sort of theft deterrent system. And, if they didn't, I'd assume they are thinking of a later model with Sentry. So, not an actual alarm system, but an anti-theft security system.
