Very few SCs Cosme with a factory alarm, there is a bulb on the cluster but I don’t think it’s commonnas a factory option. What you typically see installed is the aftermarket or dealer installed ford one, which was probably made by Viper or the like. You need to find the box under the dash, and chase wires backwards the important one is the ignition switch cut, there will be a large red and green wire that the alarm has tied into, the wire was cut and it needs to be connected after removing the alarm. All of the other wires should just have been tapped to the factory stuff and just remove and tape the exposed factory wire.

All installations are different but most are sloppy because of time restraints.

I hope my problems go away it’s the only logical problem but don’t want to chance getting stranded the internal relay is likely going to fail or not provide enough juice from age to the starter. Plus things are restored to factory specs which is a plus.

Perhaps read through the EVTM?

The module in the trunk.. unplug it.

However, there is 1 conection that has to be jumpered.. 1 wire.. I'll see if I can locate it later.

assuming factory due to siren under hood says ford instead of viper or somthing else little button on kick panel fell apart and have to do this thing with a paper clip or momentarily touch wires to activate or de activate its my sons 94 didnt want to start cutting on stuff and creating a bigger issue. plus i want to install a remote start on it for him like i did with my 95 and 94 if ya come across that jumper wire deal let me know thanks again

No, the factory alarm used the horn; if it HAS a siren under the hood, it's the after market put on by the Ford dealers.

For a Gen1 factory, according to the EVTM, the only main problem with pulling the module in the trunk is that the starter goes through it; for my 1991, I'd have to bypass the white/pink wires to the red/light_blue wires (specifically, 11&12 to 13&24).

It's covered in section 112 of the EVTM.

*goes and checks for 1994*

For 1994, from page 20-2, you can bypass the starter interrupt relay (same colors, but at the PDC up front); or ground the control wire (Light_Green/Pink, section 112 of the EVTM).

If you do NOT have the control module in the trunk (driver's side, under the plastic cover), then it's not the factory unit.

Thats the jumper wire I was referring to. I did this years ago to bypass the alarm. It was so long back that I have little recall as to the details.

Pulle the knee cover and metal if early, you will see the ignition switch and the Red and Green wire that was cut and rewired put those back together for a quick fix

Hi don't know if I'm posting this correctly or not if so could someone please help me out in this sure alot of my posts don't post!.. But as for your alarm problem I've got 2 SC's which have the alarm and they're a bit complex they are tied into the brake wiring, clutch and so forth there's no quick or easy way about reaching them but I am working figuring them out I will pass on any knowledge I get from working with mine to you the site. But why mess with what seems to be a really a nice and secure set up but everyone's needs are completely different, The Gambit.
So please feel free to contact and I'll share all of what I've learned and gotten from my two cars.

If you have a factory alarm I would guess you don’t have big issues.

But the aftermarket or ford dealer installed ones caused me problems for years chasing the problem by replacing all of my battery wires and several starters and starter spacers etc. I got rid of my light weight battery thinking it was my issues, but it was the alarm all along. The aftermarket units have the cutoff relay internally and it’s inadequate. Especially after years of use. I also was able to get rid of the wining nightmare that an aftermarket installation poses.

unit im working with

[ricardoa1]

Yup that’s the dealer installed unit.
