Question -
I have Ford Bronco, with what appears to be a Hornet Alarm system. I purched the Bronco resently second hand and gave it to my daughter. My daughter, out of state now, has the remote control. I've benn useing the Bronco for several months. Now out of the blue the alarm is going off when I open the door and I can't turn it off. Ignition will not operate. I've disconnected the battery. Is there a switch some place to turn it off?
What activated the alarm in the 1st place?
Answer -
No telling what set it off really without
being there to inspect it. but 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 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.

That should do it.
If you want to remove it at this point,
take it to your neighborhood installer
for this, or buy the wiring chart for
the vehicle, and reverse engineer it wire
by wire, until it's safely removed.

Best idea here though is to replace
it with a now system that you know
from the start.

Let me know what happens.

Is there always an over ride switch installed? Looked and loked but can't locate. Must have hidden it.

Answer
Normally found left of the knee, drilled
into the kick panel. It can also be mounted
inside the fusebox area. If not available,
then you will need to remove the alarm, and
re attatch the starter wire that is currently
seperated by a relay inline. The relay
is what keeps the cars engine from starting,
and the alarm is controlling the relay.

Good hunting.
