Car Alarm Systems

No. A shoplifting alarm is not a metal detector. The sensor frames do not react to metal. They react to a special tag placed on or inside the product or package.

The short answer is yes. car alarms have different types of activation devices. some tie-in to the light switch on the door. others have motion detection, sensors for glass breakeage, even thermal and echo detection. ask the salesperson for details. If you have purchased one already and do not see the information you need, call the manufacturer. they are usually quite helpful .

You can not disable, it is part of the body computer. Unlocking the drivers door with the key should turn it off if it is activated.

You need a new ignition cylinder with a new key with the right resistor.

yes

Check owner's manual. If you don't have one copy and paste link below; www.fleet.ford.com/maintenance/owners_manuals

This is an output that will trigger a call to your pager number when the car alarm is tripped that way you can immediately check it out if you're say inside the movie theater when it goes off.

try diss-conecting the battery for 15-30 minutes and hook it back up .

The alarm can not be removed. Try unlocking the drivers door with the key.

or if you want to permanently disable the alarm you can ground out the you can ground out pin three in the connector that controls the Door Key Cycle Switch. I think in most cars the connector is black but don't quote me on that. Try searching the dodge forums for more info there should be at least a couple of posts explaining the process in more detail.

find the valet switch, first turn your key on and click the vallet button within 10 sec

i have the original book for it, if you would like i will scan and pdf it.

your car should still start, regardless of the alarm

It depends on the alarm, some can cause a no start.

A motorcycle is required to have a muffler in PA. A set of drag pipes with a baffle is a crude form of a muffler. The only real noise limit is at the discretion of the police, legally, if a cop writes up a disturbing the peace ticket or something related, a judge will probably let it stand.

LOL! I would ask the question why the heck would you need an alarm on a 1984 Lincoln grand marquis?? :O

Yes, some can actually shut down the computer and make your car unable to start.

unplug the battery if that don't work place the key in turn it to start maker then back to off and back to start, don't turn it over though.... only to where it is allowing the music to play, - it should be fast at a count of 10 times on off on off on off... last try locking the car from outside with the key and unlocking. one of them has to work.

you can purchase a universal remote at any retailer or if your lucky like me and have a friend that has a viper alarm system that has the ability to be used on multi vehicles, example the viper 5000 you can use their remote to hop if only looking to use 1 time. Or if you are wanting all remotes erased you can do that by placing it in valet mode, which can be done by pressing your program button under your dash with in 5 seconds of opening doorand press program button 9 times if you dont have remote start and 11 if you do

There are several electrical wiring options available for a car alarm system. A person can have their car alarm wired so it will go off if anyone touches it. Also, a car can be wired to set an alarm off is anyone tries to open a door.

It might be a magical car alarm or someone keeps trying to break in and you're too slow to catch them. Otherwise, it might just be broken. Most likely its magic though!

To Answer #1: Proofread your answers before you post them. You're as ungrammatical as you are unhelpful.

There is a disable switch called (valet switch) under the driver side of dashboard. Switching to opposite position should disable the alarm system.

Hi, my name is Cris and I work as a tech on alarm systems. I may be able to help you disable your alarm. I, however, would need you to answer some questions.
First of all, would you be able to post some pictures of the actual alarm(I.E. - LED, remotes) on this forum? How long ago did you buy this truck? Was it from a used car lot or a certified dealership?
All of these questions can help me determine what manufacturer installed the alarm on your truck and therefore better explain how to disable it.
Either way, a very overgeneralized and crude way to disable/remove the alarm from your vehicle is fairly easy if you know where to look. A few places may consist of.... If you remove the driver side kick panel, it may reveal some wiring that is almost unmistakeable. All car manufacturers like clean wiring. Alarm companies 'tap' into these wires to integrate the Alarm. Most companies never cut and splice, instead they have a very noticeable 'tap' that looks like a very small plug that was crimped to a wire. Usually you will see five or more of these 'taps' behind the kick panel. Those you can just pull off because the plugs belong to the alarm's wiring harness, not the vehicle's.
Also, if you look under the driver side dash, you may be able to see the alarm's 'brain' or control unit. Usually, the 'brain' consists of one or two small plastic boxes with a few plugs attatched. The 'brain' is usually anchored with one or more zip ties. You may be able to disable the alarm by merely unplugging the 'brain'. I suggest trying this first and then attempt to start the vehicle. Most alarm companies have a starter diable therefore certain alarm companies have a tamper secured 'brain' that does not allow you to start the car if it is unplugged. So try unplugging one at a time and try to start the vehicle after each. If that works, your fine.
If it doesnt, the last thing would be detatching the panel under the steering column. there will be another set of 'taps' that you must unplug. Any wires that are cut at that point will usually be crimped together. Remove the crimps and crimp the vehicle's wire's back together.(those are color coded for your convinience. At that point, attemp to start the vehicle.
If that doesnt work, answer some of my questions and post some pictures of the areas ive explained to you. Good Luck

Yes, this is possible.

Aftermarket remotes are available for most car alarms.
