Alarm Problem

[optimusfine]

I Have A 1996 Ford Taurus. I Have The Two Button Remote Control Entry Alarm. The Other Day I Entered The Car From The Passenger Side Front Door.

After Doing So The Alarm Acted Strange, Resulting In Popping The Trunk, Cycling The Automatic Door Locks And Beeping. I Pushed My Unlock Button On The Remote To Stop The Strange Behavoir (in Addition To Closing All Doors And Trunck), Then Pressed The Lock Button.

Now When I Press The Lock Button, The Alarm Doesn't Go On. THE Automatic Locks Still Lock, But The Alarm Does Not Go On.

Does Anyone Know How To Reset This?


Thank You A Bunch.

Is this a Ford alarm? If it is, it's made from CodeAlarm and the remotes are plagued with problems after being used for a while. You might want to use the other remote or take off the one you have been using and see how it works.

Yes. It Is The Ford Alarm. And It Is Code Alarm. I Have A New Remote And One That Is A Couple Years Old. They Both Result In The Same Problem.

Sounds like a trip to the local alarm shop or dealer. The only thing I can think of for you to do is either unplug it or ground out the disarm wire so it doesn't rearm. FYI, usually when a alarm goes nuts like this, it is because of a loose ground going into the brain.
