It's the original fob and I just replaced the batteries. I'm trying to
avoid going to the dealer because from what I understand they charge
$75-$100 to "reprogram" the fob, though apparently reprogramming is
just a matter of playing some tricks with the buttons and car - like
Lon's example (which doesn't apply to this car apparently because this
one is radio not IR).

Thanks for the tips so far - keep 'em comin'!

FWIW the factory shop manual for a 97 Grand Cherokee (ZJ) says
"Transmitter programming must be performed with a DRB scan tool." Page
