2004 freestar alarm system works on/off again. It is the small round security fob. New bateries don't seem to make a difference. The van will sometimes not start and has left me in a bad position more than once. Can I disconnect the alarm and still be able to start the car and not worry about being left on the side of the road? Thank you

SOURCE: my 2004 ford freestar van is hesitating going down

most likely not the fuel filter- try plugs and wires... could be a number of things, if the vehicle runs fine while in park and doesnt hesitate, most likely is sprk plugs and wires or a transmission problem...

The alarm will sound while in reverse if it senses a problem with the reverse sensing system.

Hello and welcome to FixYa!

The door sensor surely is worn out. It's the little button that the door hits when shut close. If it's worn out it may trigger that it's open even if it's closed that's why the chime goes on. I strongly suggest that you replace the door sensor to resolve the problem.

Try putting some padding too on the slide door so that when the door hits the sensor it will be pushed. That is if you like the idea and not spending for the door sensor.

Hope this helps and thank you for using FixYa! Have a good one!

SOURCE: My 1983 Ford E150 conversion van has a security system that I need to bypass. It won't start and the alarm keeps going off. The buttons on the key chain work sometimes but still won't start.

the system is either hooked to the battery or it has a fuse try disconnecting them
