Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward all the way just before cranking. Then within 5 seconds, locate, press and hold in the valet/overide button, found under the dash area, (push button, spring loaded) until the installed LED (the blinking light) in your dash area goes on solid, and the siren chirps once.
(Your valet switch might be the toggle (on/off) type. in this case, key on, flip switch in opposite direction, then turn the key off.)
This should reset the alarm, and reset the grounded relay on the starter wire, allowing you to start the engine.
At this point, the only thing working would be the keyless entry from the alarm, if it came equipped that way.
Just Repeat these steps to place it back to usable armed mode. You may get 2 chirps, confirming it, and the lights may flash twice as well.
That should do it.

To reset the Generic Electronic Module (GEM) on a 2002 Ford Explorer, disconnect the vehicle's battery by removing the negative terminal for about 15 minutes. This will allow the module to clear any stored error codes and reset its functions. After the time has elapsed, reconnect the battery terminal and start the vehicle to ensure the GEM has reset properly. If issues persist, further diagnostics may be necessary.
