Hi Everyone- I am trying to help out a friend of mine. He has been given a 2002 Explorer. If we can fix the issue, my friend can own the car for nothing. His in laws are sick of the car and its problem.
The catch is that the car alarm will not turn off and is a huge draw on the battery. The car has not run in months because the battery wears down quickly. When it did run, the alarm started going off at random times and then started going off all the time. There was no way to turn the alarm off at all.
We jumped the car today. However, immediately after jumping the car the alarm started sounding and the alarm light on the dash lit up preventing the car from being started. We have the factory keyfobs for unlocking the doors, but the car does not have keyless entry.
Any leads here would be greatly appreciated. Cory
