Anon, I am not positive, I believe this means there is a random misfire in engine on Fords. Have car scanned for trouble codes to diagnose and repair.

Give this a try.....Timing is not as critical with this method...no stop watch needed. Just count in your head...one-one thousand, two-one thounsand, etc, or usestop watch. The most critical step is step #3....wait 10 sec, instead of 7.



1. Ignition "ON", count to 3.

2. Depress/Release pedal 5 times...hard and fast.

3. Count to 10 (not 7!) and fully depress pedal

4. Count to 12 (SES should be blinking), release pedal

5. Count to 10, depress pedal

6. Count to 10, release pedal.

7. Turn off ignition, then 81377951893%26mt_id%3D570%26mpre%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.ebay.com%252Fitm%252Flike%252F181377951893%26mid%3D446528%26sdc_id%3D%7Bsdc_id%7D&DealName=12v%20Electric%20Push%20To%20Start%20Engine%20Ignition%20Button%20With%20Red%20Led%20Light%20Up&MerchantID=446528&HasLink=yes&category=0&AR=-1&NG=1&GR=1&ND=1&PN=1&RR=-1&ST=&MN=msnFeed&FPT=SDCF&NDS=1&NMS=1&NDP=1&MRS=&PD=0&brnId=2455&lnkId=8070676&Issdt=150102050536&IsFtr=0&IsSmart=0&dlprc=19.99&SKU=181377951893">start engine.

Hi Jenny, Sorry to hear your distress! When the check engine light comes on it generates a fault code, this will assist in pointing a mechanic in the right direction of where the fault is! You cannot just reset the light and hope the fault disappears! The garage that did the work needs to find the reason the light is on and put the fault right since it is their responsibility to give the car back with no lights on the dash!

try disconect baterry for % mins while battery disconnected ,switch headlights on to discharge computer box capacitors .......so it loses fault memory........reconnect switch ignition on and wait 30 sec before starting .........see if light re appears afterwards .good luck

try starter or your ignition relay switch or check fuses

Hi
Before Battery Change

• 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.

1. Follow positive wire lead from battery to fuse box connections. (Should be along driver side frame rail, or near battery.)
2. Follow wrie harness to Relay Center. (Find Alarm Relay/Fuse)
3. 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.


1. Remove Neggative Post connection.
2. Remove Positive Post connection.
3. 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.
4. With Battery Still Disconnected. Open Driver Car door, and turn Ignition to RUN Position.
5. Reconnect Positive Post.
6. 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.
• Be SURE Key Fob not locked in car.

the only way is to connect with a ecu analyzer-programmer to a authorized or specialized service garage to find the cause and reset the ecu.

need more information to determine the issue could be a dead battery or alternator
