Question
97 Explorer with only 50K: mint condt. 2 weeks prior (Sears Auto) replaced alternator; that is when problem surfaced. Using either remote/door auto lock system= secure vehicle. Thereafter horn/'panic' alarm starts sounding? Inspected remote: all clean/no debris/changed out battery. Ford Service $80.00 diagnostic +$ for repair work. Per Ford Service, " You cannot disconnect alarm; will affect engine/starting....we are the only service to handle this 'factory' alarm system."  What are my options? Explorer Chat, " ...could be low battery..." Please, any advice would be greatly appreciated....."Casey"

Answer
Thank you for contacting ALARMTEK on this subject.
I am happy to announce that I have set up a web site
to deal with the FORD P.A.T.S. "No Start" issue and
explained the methods, with illustrations, to get
around this common problem many Ford vehicle owners
& shop mechanics face everyday.

Please go to the FORD PATS website/Blog and begin your
project to learn how to bypass PATS so you can
drive your vehicle again!

Good luck and if you have more relative questions
about the Ford's P.A.T.S. (Passive-Anti-Theft-System),
please be sure to use the PATS BLOG link on that
page to post it or, any other comments you want to
express.

I do hope you find it useful,
& good luck with your project.
