I unhooked the negative battery cable to do some work on the truck. When I hooked it back up the remotes no longer work to disable the alarm. They lock/unlock the doors fine they just no longer activate/deactivate the alarm. Problem is the alarm is stuck on. Only way to start the truck is the hit the override button. Any ideas?

 

"override button" ???

to my knowledge there isn't one on the ford ones. It uses the doors key cyl(has a switch in it that disarms the alarm) So are you sure its a 'FORD" alarm and not an aftermarket?

My system 4 Ford alarm in my Mercury had an override button. Wish I had an answer for 69Roadster

 

i wouldnt say they are ford alarms.. arent those dealer installed items?

mine originally had a ford 'alarm' but i had it removed. took the lot boy 4 mins to yank it out from under the dash

 

69Roadster,

Don't know how to fix it, but while the alarm is going off get in your car and hit unlock on your controls inside, that might shut the "alarm" part off, but I don't know how to fix it.

 

Yep it's a System 4 Ford alarm installed by a Ford dealership.

I guess that is another weird thing. The alarm is armed, the light is flashing, but the siren doesn't go off when I open the doors. All it seems to be doing is disabling the starter. Interesting.

All the manual says is to take it to the dealership if it doesn't work right. Hoping someone here will know what to do...
