Car Alarms: ALARM WONT SHUT OFF, spark 2, factory oem

Question
OKAY SO I LOST MY KEYES AT THE BEACH MY HUSBAND BROKE IGNITION AND WE GOT THE CAR HOME HE KNOW REPLACED IGNITION SWITCH ON I'M SORRY 96 FORD EXPLORER BUT THE ALARM WONT SHUT DOWN WHAT DID HE DO WRONG?

Answer
Maybe nothing that he did "wrong".

I need to determine whether it's a factory alarm
issue or, if it's an aftermarket system you are
dealing with.

Ok let's clear up the terminology glitch here.

1. FACTORY/OEM alarm = Part of the original schematics
and plans from the manufacturer.
(horn honk, head lights flash, Starter may crank and
die, no spark)

2. DEALER INSTALLED alarm = Just that. Once the vehicle
is brought to a dealer, the dealer sub contracts the after market
security out.
(horn might honk, siren and parking lights flash, starter kill relya,
no start, no crank, just dead.)

3. AFTER MARKET alarm: Same as #2 but Customer IS AWARE that
the system was put in at the dealership, but may not
be informed of the brand name, or even what it's
total capabilities are.
(siren & parking lights flash, starter kill)

Which one applies to yours?
