How to disable ford alarm system?
I've been trying to install a aftermarket stereo in my 2006 f150 king ranch. It just won't crank when it's all wired in. I was told it's because of the security system or the factory sub. When I put in the factory stereo back in it would crank right up? Any ideas?
1. Does your vehicle have PATS? Meaning, did they mention it has a chipped key? You know this if on your Dash there's a "theft" light that illumiates.
2. When you install the aftermarket stereo does the theft light come on?
The theft light or PATS is activated if it is blinking fast. If this is the case, insert your ignition key and turn to ON, not crank. Just on. Wait for the fast blinking light to slow. Takes about 30 seconds, then turn key off, and remove. Wait 15 seconds then re-insert key. Turn to ON, not crank. Light should blink two time, stop two times, Stop, etc, this means PATS is OK, if it blinks fast, connect the stock radio and try again.
If you find the Stock radio is OK but aftermarket is not working, well that is very strange. That would tell me somehow the stock radio is tied into the Bus line between the PATS and the ECM.
I at that point would call Crutchfield or such and ask them. They would know for sure. But I can't find any documentation to support your issue, but that doesn't mean it isn't happening.
- How to remove/disable the alarm on a 97 ford Taurus? The alarm goes off every so often for no reason even when the car is completely unlocked, according to the manual the fuse that controls the alarm also controls some other more vital systems so can't just be removed, does anyone have any suggestions on how to quickly and easily disable the alarm, short of disconnecting the battery completely every time we're not in the car?
- How to disable the chime in a 2001 ford e150? I want to disable all chimes in the car. When the headlights are on, the car dings sporadically and it drives me nuts. Is there a fuse anywhere that I can remove or is there a more complex solution? I have removed the front plastic trim from the dash and am currently looking for the chime.
- How to disable the indicator beeping in my 05 Ford F-150 XL Triton? I have problems with processing sound and little repetitive noises drive me insane. To be clear, the sound I'm referring to occurs when say the driver door is open with the keys still in the ignition without the truck running or when the seatbelt indicator is active. I'm afraid that if I do not disable this beeping that I will lose control and destroy my truck if I do not find the source of this incessant beeping and quiet it for good. Any leads or DIY instructions are welcomed!
