Car Alarms: car wont start, side kick panel, lincoln town car


Question
I have a 1994 Lincoln town car with a 2 button remote. I belive it is factory. The remote will work to unlock door, truck. buT the car will not start. It sound like thing click but the starter dose not start. I have tryed the bypass button and starter will not  engage.  If you keep trying sometime the starter will engage and the car will start.
I have noticed that before this happend that when I would turn the key to start the car it would take about 2 seconts for the starter to engage.  Can you help?
Thanks Lonnie Sedge my remote code no. is
GOHMM6101890 2 BUTTON
GOM-M24  2 BUTTOM

Answer
Lonnie,
  It does not sound like a factory system from Ford.
They'res does not have a starter kill relay inline.

So ok, let's try this first.
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 comes on solid.
(Your valet switch might be the toggle (on/off) type.
in this case, key on, flip switch in oposite direction,
key off.)

This should be valet. This overides
the starter kill relay in the alarm harness,
and returns the car back to disarmed mode.

The only thing that will work now on your system,
is the keyless entry if installed.

Just Repeat these steps to rearm your system.

If however I am wrong, then the "factory" system.
To disam the "factory" system
when going off, go the the drivers door,
put the key in the lock, and turn all the
way to the left, then to the right. This will
disable the horn and headlights until the next
time. It can be permanantly disabled by
grounding a single wire in the drivers side
kick panel.
(it's a light green/purple wire.
Splice into it, and ground to the chassis
of the car.)

Once done the Ford system will not be
a problem any longer.

But from the sound of it,
it's an aftermarket system here.

Let me know what you find out.
