Push the lock button on your key fob for three seconds, until the lights on your dashboard blink. Your key has been reprogrammed, and your alarm and computer have been reset. Turn your Kia off, remove the jumper wires and close the hood.
If it is the factory system that needs to be reset, unfortunately you will need a Ford IDS, which most large shops have or your local Ford dealer. If it is the aftermarket alarm system that needs resetting, then you need and authorized dealer of that alarm system.
Stick your key in the ignition and turn to start. That should stop the alarm. However, it sounds like your battery still isn't fully charged. Computer things go haywire when battery voltage is 9.6 volts or less.
Reset the alarm system. It won't start unless you do. If you can't reset thru your system controls, disconnect the battery ground terminal for 24 hours the re-connect. This will reset the computer and alarm should be cancelled.
Hello! The drivers side door lock/unlock switch is more than likely defective...Having said that, the alarm system on Jeeps are a constant problem...To disable the system requires removing the drivers door panel and cutting the Light Green/Orange wire at the switch...And installing a 465 Ohm resistor...Not something done without the necessary skills... I would have the vehicle towed to a Jeep dealer and have them test the drivers door switch and disable the alarm....Guru...saailer
When was/or when did you notice alarm green light illuminated?
When after alarm was disarmed, did green light shine?
First thing to check would be electrical connections starting from the battery.
Follow positive wire lead from battery to fuse box connections. (Should be along driver side frame rail, or near battery.)
Follow wrie harness to Relay Center. (Find Alarm Relay/Fuse)
Also to Power Distribution Center. (upper driver corner engine bay)
Relay Switch and Fuse to Alarm should be okay, given the alarm green light illumination.
The Cars Brain, ECM Engine Control Module, manages messeges between power BattV and Alarm, also other modules and various sensors throughout the vehicle.
When Battery Supply was disconnected, something happened, that stunned the memory in the ECM.
Yes, the alarm does need resetting, its actually the memory messages saved in ECM need to be Refreshed.
(saying "alarm needs resetting") sounds like alarm is broken, when that is not the case. Similar scenario is, when smart phone screen webpage freezes(alarm memory info in ECU). No buttons work, not even power button (Key Fob control). Only way to gain access is to remove battery.
Lets try an experiment, this will be to loose still/saved frozen information, stuck in computer memory.
How to Reset Vehicle Computer.
Remove Neggative Post connection.
Remove Positive Post connection.
Let vehicle sit over Two Minutes, this time allows capacitors in vehicle Modules (ECM/PCM, TCM), to release any/all stored voltage, also any voltage in Vehicles ground circuit will be released.
(I would typically wait 15 minutes) Capacitors with out constant Voltage input, will disipate rather quickly, depending on capacity size.
With Battery Still Disconnected. Open Driver Car door, and turn Ignition to RUN Position.
Reconnect Positive Post.
Reconnect Negative Post.
IGNITION is in RUN Position, when reconnecting Battery. Driver Door Is Open.
7. Turn Ignition to Off.
Notice if alarm green light is illuminated.
8. Hit LOCK Button On Driver Door Switch to Reinitialize Alarm.
Sometimes the alarm thinks the pos. battery cable has been cut so it kills the ighition. You will have to look in the manual to see how to reset the alarm. You may need a code. If its not the alarm, you may have blown a fuse or worse, fried the computer when you put the alt. in. start at the begining. Check the battery cable connections, battery voltage, alt. wires and connections. if the headlighys work but the car won't start, it's prob. not a "connection" problem.
