alarm

I have a 2001 Sport Trac. Today when I got up to drive to class my electronic clicker didn't work. With any other car this wouldn't be a problem but with my Sport Trac, the clicker is the only way to get in without setting off the alarm. The key pad on the door doesn't work, and using the key...

Anyone else surprised there is no LED that blinks or shows the alarm status on the Explorer? I guess I got used to that in BMW SUVs and cars where you'd set the alarm and the LED under the mirror would blink slowly as a deterrent to would be breaker-inners. I see lots of cars in parking lots...

I had a viper 5701 installed, professionally, into my 97 Explorer, and they screwed it up and won't fix it. I'm dealing with that, but meantime, I want to fix it so i can use my vehicle. Also, I upgraded to a 5901 and rewired the system, so i believe its a misconnected wire, not just a loose...

Ok, so since I have obtained my pile of crap 1993 Eddie Bauer 4 door a4ld transmission with 4.0 v6 it has been randomly locking and unlocking via the electric locks, also my horn will go off with the lights at random times, im looking to disconnect any wireless keyfobs there are stock in this...

I have a 2000 Ford Explorer, one day it just did not start, the gas pump was changed because that was believed to be the problem but it was not. Now we are almost sure it is because the factory alarm is interfering and blocking the motor start. The truck also has a viper alarm which might be...

First so bio data. 2003 Completely stock Explorer Limited. So here's the newest problem. One day, about a month ago, I go to get out of my truck and remove the key and notice that the radio was still on. Immediately I was slightly puzzled as I exited the vehicle still hearing the radio being...

So last night I threw my keys and part of my key chipped off. Don't ask why, but I went to start my car and it wouldn't start. Now it wanted to start but I'm almost positive that it has something to do with the alarm system. The "THEFT" light was flashing really fast when I tried to turn the...

I have a 97 Explorer XLT with the 5.0L engine. I love the old thing but one of the most annoying things its been doing lately is the alarm keeps going off for no reason. It usually happens 3 min after I park, but I'm writing this now at 12:20 am on a Sunday bc it just went off again and that was...

My 2004 Explorer XLT was working just fine yesterday until I went to remove the ignition key at one stop and the horn continuously blared until I re-inserted the key and turned the ignition back to the ON position! It also appears the now the red light in the center of the windshield is always...

I have a key fob to lock/unlock my explorer, and have noticed that whenever I lock or unlock it, the lights do not flash like every other car i've seen with keyless entry. The horn does honk when I press the lock button twice, and the interior lights come on when I unlock it. Does anyone know if...

Greetings!! I just became the new owner of a 1995 Explorer 4.0 XLT :exporange with just over 186k on the odometer. The truck had sat unused for the past couple of years. It needs a few items: rear brakes(the parking brake shoes were rusted to the inside of the rear disc drum, but I freed it up)...

Explorer 1999 Eddie Bauer. It started 2 days ago and it drives me crazy: every time I started my engine after 1 minute I hear chime 5 times (same sound like when you did not buckled your seat belt) and 5 more times and 5 more, total 5 times 5 chimes; I have no idea what is it; there is no any...

Does anyone know if this truck has a factory alarm "arm" wire for use with an aftermarket alarm system? If so does someone know what wire it is?
