Car Alarms: ford factory alarm, ford taurus, ford factory

Question
I have a 98 ford taurus. I went to get in the car and my keyless entry would not work. I also cannot start the car. The red flashing light on the dash is not blinking. I dont know what happened or how to get the car started. Is there a way of getting by the alarm system somehow so I can start my car?
Thank you

Answer
try this.
Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward
all the way just before cranking. Then within
5 seconds, press and hold in the valet/overide
button, found under the dash area,
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,
key off.)

This should reset the alarm.

Just Repeat these steps to place it
back to usable armed mode.

That should do it.

If it does not do the job, Then try to replace
the battery in the remote. Then if that still
does not work, you may have other issues that
are not car alarm related. Maybe bad aleternator
or battery.

Let me know what you figure out.
