Question
i bought a '94 explorer and was changing the oil the other day and the car started all by itself. it was quite a surprise because i didn't even know it had remote start.it does have an aftermarket alarm thats been giving metrouble too. my question is how do i disable the whole thing without messing up everything ?

Answer
Sure, let's try to put it into valet/service mode.

Look under the dash area for a button or, a toggle
switch. When you locate it, turn on the ignition
key, press and hold in the button (little
spring loaded micro button, red or black possibly)
until the alarm chirps 1 time. This should over ride
the system, and only the keyless entry part,
if installed, would still be operating.
The LED (light emiting diode) light in the dash
should also go on solid.

Could also be in the antenna, if there is one
on the window glass.

This solves the problem for now.

Then if you want to remove it, take it to a local
after market alarm dealer and have it done there.

They may even be able to reset/reprog/replace remotes.
Alowing you to control the features on
the alarm you have, to use the system
more comfortably, but of course, your call.

Have a nice evening.
