Car Alarms: 1996 Ford F-150 Alarm override, ford f 150, dash area


Question
I have a 1996 Ford F-150. My battery died and set my alarm off. Unfortunatly I disconnected the kill switch when I installed a remote starter. Know I dont know how to override the alarm. What should I do?

Answer
Ok, 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 in most cases,
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.

However, If you removed the valet switch,
then you will need to remove the alarm
untill you can replace 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 truck at www.wirewer.com,
and reverse engineer it wire
by wire, until it's safely removed.

Let me know what happens.
