alarms

It may be possible to unplug the central locking/alarm module from your Escort Ghia, behind drivers kick panel and swap it for the central locking module of your sons car; by doing this, it may provide an alarm to your sons car.

 

If this works, return Alarm module back to your car and buy an escort alarm module from ebay for your sons car.

 

Some Fords have a deadlock facility, which when activated prevents the doors from being open from the inside through a broken window and also isolates the electric tailgate release.

 

To operated the deadlocks, when locking the car, rotate the key once to the unlock position then back in opposite direction to the lock position, whist doing this, if deadlocking is present, you will hear a double whirl of the door look motors.

 

To test, best lock doors with a window open & reach in and try to open the door from the inside, if deadlock present, door won't open from the inside & tailgate release switch won't pop the tailgate open.

 

 

Reason I suggest lock car from passenger side; sometimes the switch on the drivers side which turns on the alarm and wrapped around the rear of the door lock barrel, either wears down or works loose and fails to switch on the alarm; due to lack of use, this tends not to happen on the passenger side.
