All Original Equipment alarms on Fords have a built in self test. This
test checks the operation of all the switches and the horn. It is a very
simple operation to carry out.
Each of the front door barrels and the boot barrel has a switch that
automatically activates and deactivates the alarm when locking and
unlocking the car; this switch is wrapped around or very close to the door
barrel.
Every door including the boot/tailgate has a micro switch attached to
the catch that detects when the door / boot is opened.
This page describes how to carry
out an alarm self test and what the results mean.
Alternatively carry out the test
and tell us the results and we'll tell you the likely cause. |
