Open the door and it will turn off
you use the key to open the door.
On many vehicles you just need to open the drivers door with the key.
on my 93 u press door unlock on remote or with door open use door lock switch to lock doors close the door
If you are talking the FACTORY alarm system on a 2000 Ford Explorer there is no glass break sensor , you have to open a door to set off the armed alarm system after the glass is broken
The method for reseting this alarm system sounds a little goofy. But, here is how I have to reset mine: While sitting in the drivers seat, open the passenger door and leave it opened. Turn the key off and on to the accessory position five times. Open and close the driver's door three times. Shut the passenger door.
Because the car alarm needs to be disarmed before you open the door. It's not connected to your door locks.
If you can't turn the alarm off or unlock the door they will break the door open and worry about the alarm later.
Put key in ignition in the second position and open the driver door. should reset in about 10sec.(assuming that you've changed the brake pad wear sensor)
well obviously if you open it you will find out
key on, drivers door open for about 40 seconds, brake light should go out automatically...
This answer is to deactivate the alarm after disconnecting the battery. If it is not reset, the car will honk and flash its lights at you incessantly. First locate the alarm kill switch. It is a little metal toggle located under the dash, behind the hood release. It is easiest to find if you actually stick your head under there and look for it. Second, flip it into the down (off) position. Then, LEAVING THE DRIVER'S SIDE DOOR OPEN, reconnect the battery. (If you do not leave the door open, the alarm will sound when you open it.) Put the key in the ignition and move to the "on" position (not "start"). Flip the toggle switch back to the up (on) position and start the car.
