Car Alarms: 1997 Ford Mustang Alarm problems, ford mustang, dash area


Question
I bought a 97 Ford Mustang, It has a alarm in it, but did not come with the alarm remote. Some how the alarm was set and it turned off all of the electronics. I'm not sure how to by pass it. The alarm wiring look pretty shoty. The wire are just taped to other wires. If you can help I apreciate it. Thanks

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,
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.

Let me know what happens.
