car alarm on 2004 SEL Taurus Sign up here! Search this forum this category all forums for All words Any words Whole Phrase (search options) Auto Repair Home>> Automotive Repair>> Automotive Wiring and Electrical ellebelle21 New User Feb 8, 2009, 11:00 AM Post #1 of 5 (2814 views) car alarm on 2004 SEL Taurus Sign In I just bought a 2004 Ford Taurus SEL. Had it for only two days now. It's run great except for this morning, when the car alarm started going off randomly three times! I don't know that much about cars (yes I'm a girl ) but I stopped locking it with the key less entry pad and it has stopped. I'm worried about it going off in the middle of the night and ruining my battery though. I'm certain that it wasn't any external stimulus that caused it, because after the first time I was watching the car closely to see if it did it again, and nothing touched the car and yet it went off two more times. Any ideas??

I do know that some sense a voltage drop, as when a door is opened, or a hood/trunk lamp comes on. Is it possible that a light has been left on? Check the trunk, glove box, hood, interior lights to make sure they are going off. Just a wild guess. I did check for TSBs on the PATS system, but didn't find any.

I decided to stop using the keyless entry pad and opened it manually with the key, and it immediately started going off. Why the heck would it do that? I wonder if this is something the dealer hid from me. I don't know...this is just scary because I'm afraid of it going off in the middle of the night and then my car battery is dead in the morning! I want to disable the dang thing, but can't find any instructions on how to do so. Maybe a Ford dealer could do it for me? PS my real name is Alex.

Dealer should be able to answer that. btw; My real name is Emil Gazortanplantz.

If you only had it for 2 days, the dealer should repair it for you. It never hurts to ask. Now might be a good time to ask because all the dealers want to keep business up. You have a 72 hour right of recension in most states. I think they only count working days. Being way2old is why I need help from younger minds (This post was edited by way2old on Feb 8, 2009, 5:12 PM)   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
