Car Alarms: alarm system Ford f150 2001 4 door lariet, dash area, flip switch

Question
My alarm system will not work after the battery of the truck was replaced.  I can not figure out how to reset the whole system.  To start my truck I have to push the disarm switch by my left leg and turn key over at the same time.  Any suggestions to reset the whole system without having to take it in.  It has keyless entry also.

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.

Let me know what happens.
