I have a 2001 ford escort zx2 5 speed and it had an alarm system put in it but i no longer have the remote for the alarm so i have been having to use the kill switch to start the car. now the kill switch isnt working and i was wondering if there is a fuse for the kill switch or a way to start my car without it. i already cut the cord for the alarm thinking that might help but it didnt ?
Hi
Your alarm or engine immobiliser are usually wired into your ignition wire at the back of the dashboard you will probably need to find out where its been joined to your wiring loom a good starting point is to take your stereo headset out and have a look at the wiring behind it as usually alarm technicians go for the quickest route and you have an ignition cable that goes to your stereo
I hope this makes sense and helps you out. Nick

A copy of the remote start installation manual is available on line.

Just a thought..put your key into the ignition but don't turn it. Try the remote start. If the car starts, tap the brake to shut it off. The problem is probably the 'key in' sensor, which consists of a band secured around the lock (remove the steering covers). The instructions for securing are in the manual.

The "inertia switch" which shuts off fuel to the engine in the event of a collision or jolt on a 1991 through 1996 models, as well as on 1998 coupes, is located in the rear of the vehicle, near the right (passenger's side) strut tower. On sedan and coupe models, open the trunk and remove the right-sided trim panel. On sedan and coupe models, open the trunk and remove the right-side trim panel. On hatchback and wagon models, there may be an access door secured by clips. On some models you may need to remove the lower quarter trim panel on the right side, however it is easier to cut an access hole directly above the switch.

some water from the tail pipe is normal but if the car is running bad then it is possible the head gasket is blown. on the escorts that i have owned i have found that the main relay is usually burned and needs to be replaced. it is possible that the fan is dragging and burning this relay up if this relay is good then you may be better off taking it to the electrical shop.

If it is a "soft fault" you can reset it by disconnecting the battery. If it is a hard fault you will need to have it reset by computer. Some parts stores have the equipment needed to reset a check engine light.

The alarm brain should not be the easy to locate if stock. Put everything as it was. The alarm brain, control, module or whatever any one wants to call it is most likely behind and under the radio possibly on the floor but in that area. That is if it is OEM if not then it should have been installed under the instrument cluster. I should be a small box probably held with zip-ties and it should have all the information, manufacturer, model and wire functions on the brain. If you think he found the right thing then have him look for the red wire that connects to it. It should have a 15amp fuse on the cable. If its taken out this will disable the alarm. What ever he found should say Security, Alarm or something like that. Not door control or anything other.
