Can not reset a prestige car alarm - Taurus Ford Cars & Trucks

Feb 12, 2011 - SOURCE: security alarm on honda accord. If you have the PRESTIGE factory alarm system, there should be a very small switch (microswitch) in the left kicker panel. If you move your feet from the brake pedal to the left, you can almost hit it.

your anti theft is activated,you need the original key and keyfob to start it,if you dont have them,all you can do is call a jeep dealer.

More than likely, the sonic sensor has too much sensitivity, and some low level vibrations, such as exhaust noise from nearby cars/ trucks, thunder OR animals going under the car, might set it off. If you have the PRESTIGE alarm, the alarm box on the left kicker panel, has an adjusting screw for the sensitivity. If other brand, it probably has a way to adjust it as well. If it was a problem with doors/ trunk sensor, it would set off as soon as the alarm is armed, so i dont think this is your case.

There is a good probability that you have the PRESTIGE alarm. There is a hidden microswitch somewhere around the left kicker panel. It is also called the "valet" switch. It will disarm the alarm, but still allow the remote to unlock the doors.

Assuming that you have the dealer installed PRESTIGE alarm unit,I would recommend decreasing the sensitivity of the motion sensor, or replacing the alarm control unit. This black plastic piece, located somewhere in the left kicker panel not only handles the sound/motion alarm, but the flashing alarm, the keyless power locks and the theft code for the radio. It is rare that these boxes fail, more than likely a rusty sensor at the doors, trunk or hood will be the culprit. Mine goes off when cats go under the car, and cant figure why. I am making a decision on fixing the alarm, or fixing the cats.

may not be the answer your looking for but most prestige cars have a seat alarm that will activate if you have something sitting on passenger seat.handbag etc. computer thinks someone is sitting there and they are not wearing a seatbelt

have a good mech inspect the wiring to make sure the connections are protected and sodered and not green
