Posted May 9, 200816 yr hi, when i've just connected my battery back up after charging it, what sounds like the ford alarm (the horn) has activated and just keeps sounding, i have no idea how to stop it, i also have a toad alarm fitted but that isn't what is making the noise that is a different siren! ive disconneted it again but any ideas how to stop it from sounding when i connect the battery i also tried turning the ignition on wile it was sounding and that didn't cancel it either! any help appreciated cheers!
May 9, 200816 yr drivers footwell, find c/l ecu and pull one of the plugs out (central locking will still work but alarm won't) can't remember which of the 2 plugs but if c/l doesnt work when you remove one plug it back in and remove the other
May 9, 200816 yr try unlocking and locking the doors with the key, and see if it goes off, then use as normal.

May 9, 200816 yr plastic cover to the right of the pedals, remove cover, look up a bit and you will see a silver box with two connectors going into it, release the connector as mentioned above

May 10, 200816 yr the relay is sadly inside the c/l/alarm ecu so removing the connector from it is the only way. the ford alarm is not really worth having anyway and especially if you have an aftermarket alarm fitted
