I am having a problem with my Ford OEM Dealer installed alarm. I have a 2002 F150 with the Ford Series 3 or maybe 4 alarm.(Manual says series 3 and 4) A few weeks ago I had my battery disconnected to install a brake controller for my trailer. When I hooked the battery back up the alarm went off. I tried to use the remote but that did not work. I had to hit the little button under the dash and turn my key on to get it to stop. Now for the problem: The alarm will arm with the remotes or the door lock switch, but it will not disarm. As soon as I hit the unlock button on the remote the alarm sounds. I had to put the alarm into valet mode to stop it from going off every time I unlock my truck. Is there any way to reprogram the alarm? Everything was working perfect until I disconnected the battrey. I have called 10 different dealers and not of them will touch it. Thanks

You need a real tech, not a dealer. These things scare them away. Reply to this post with your city/state, hopefully someone monitoring this board is near you and can help. If in MA, I may be able to help, I love a good challenge! Tim

Howdy All, I am New to this forum, with a similar problem, I just replaced my blower motor in my 1997 E250 cargo van, I bought this van used and it has what seems like a factory installed alarm, well when i reconnected the battery the alarm sounded for the first time in at least 3 years as I have neverused it, a friend showed me how to turn it off by turning the key on and pressing the button under dash, I would like to ask, What would I have to do to get an alarm activator / deactivator, Is it possible that there is a remote starter and / or automatic door locks and how could I tell? Thank You All, Robert ------------- RJK

It says FORD Vehicle Secuity System on the Brain. There are 3 plugs. 1 goes to the siren 2 wires. 1 goes to the starter disable. 4 wires. 1 goes to everything else looks like 18 to 25 wires.

plug out main harness for 15 seconds and reconnect. if same problem exists, there are 3 wires that go to the door locks. pink is your arming wire it goes to a pink/black yellow is your sense wire it goes to pink/orange. brown is your disarm wire this goes to RED / orange. I hope this helps. GARY
