Expert: INSTALLSUPPORT - 6/19/2008

Question
QUESTION: I have never heard my alarm go off on my 2001 Explorer. I can set the alarm with the key fob but i can bump it, open the locked door with the window down and still nothing. How do I know it's even working. Is there an adjustment to make it more sensitive?

ANSWER: Hard to say if it's after market of OEM factory if
you've never heard it.

You can try setting it off by locking with the remote,
then open the door by reaching in and manually
unlocking and open the door. If nothing happens
and the car starts, then you would still have this puzzle.
If however it starts the car's horn sounding and head lights
flashing, this is the FACTORY system. The remote should
reset it.

If it goes off, and it's a siren and parking lights flashing,
this is afte market.

Give it a try and get back to me.

QUESTION: I tried what you said and still nothing. There doesn't appear to be any after market installations. So i'm guessing i need to take it to ford and have them look at it. Does this system have a motion sensor. I've tried bumping the truck to get it to go off also, and nothing.

Answer
Ok, that's a bit of a problem here.
Because yours is a "FACTORY" or, OEM
(original Equipment Manufacturer) "alarm/security" system,
then the disabling procedure info for any given
specific vehicle is now deamed to be too sensitive to
publish here (as suggested by ALLEXPERTS administration.!).

So, to comply, as of March,22 08, this service is no longer
part of the volunteer information I can offer for free here at
ALLEXPERTS.com . Specific OEM/FACTORY alarm disarm/disabling
info is now available ONLY at the WIREWERX.

My installation wiring charts provide the proper wire colors,
polarities, and locations to install a keyless entry,
remote start or, car alarm system into any given vehicle,
or if just trying to disarm/disable your factory/OEM system,
there is a link there to get a tutourial on how to do it yourself
for only $2.99.

I hope you can appreciate the legal reasons behind not
providing this info any longer to just anyone who asks
for general consumption. By doing it this way, I'll
get a record of payment and a name/email address as
a stop gap to help prevent any unauthorized disabling of
your system or anyone elses, by a would be car thief!

Please go to the WIREWERX so I can get you the
info you require to fix your situation.

Good luck with this issue.
