Car Alarms: DISARMING MY VIPER ALARM, fcc id, dash area


Question
Hi.  I bought a 2000 Ford Explorer with the alarm system already in it.  The FCC ID is EZSDEI476 and the RPN is 476V, which is on the back of the remote.  I was just wondering if you knew how to disarm the alarm because I do not have the manual.  Just for when I am doing work on the car, I either have to leave a door open because the alarm sets by itself after a certain amount of time or I have to disengage the alarm everytime it goes off while I am working on it.  If you have any information on how to disable and then enable it again that'd be great.  Thanks.

Answer
Ok, try this.
Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward
all the way just before cranking. Then within
5 seconds, locate, press and hold in the
valet/overide button, found under the
dash area, (push button, spring loaded)
until the installed LED (the blinking light)
in your dash area goes on solid,
and the siren chirps once.

(Your valet switch might be the toggle
(on/off) type. in this case, key on,
flip switch in opposite direction,
then turn the key off.)

This should reset the alarm, and reset
the grounded relay on the starter wire,
allowing you to start the engine.

At this point, the only thing working would
be the keyless entry from the alarm,
if it came equipped that way.

Just Repeat these steps to place it
back to usable armed mode.
You may get 2 chirps, confirming it,
and the lights may flash twice as well.

That should do it.

Enjoy your new truck!
