06 Ford Escape Hybrid. I didn't drive it and the battery died. Alarm settings are messed up need to reset to factory settings. Help!

I had to manually open the driver door with the key after the battery died to jump it. What used to happen was one push on the button to disarm the alarm and disarm and unlock of 2 front doors, 2 pushes and disarm and unlock of all doors. Now what happens... on the one push it disarms but unlocks only the passenger door. How do I reset it back?

I am not real familiar with Hybrids. In general, to go to a default setting you would disconnect the regular battery for at least 10 seconds and the systems should reboot. It does not cost to try this.

SOURCE: Ford Escort Alarm - Annoying Problem!

it seems that the contact circuit in the driverside door is the problem, it's obviously not the alarm itself others wise the same thing would occure on the passengerside. you have to remove the door panel on the driverside and inspect the wires in that circuit for corrosion which would cause no current to pass between the by pass switch the arms or disarms the alarm. please rate this

SOURCE: my 1999 jetta remote has stopped working.

you should be able to turn off alarm via key in drivers door if not test all doors to make sure they unlock. if any door will not lock that door latch will need replaced if work ok then try disarming alarm from trunk key or from the passanger door. if that works,you may need to have the key recoded to the car.

Found out today reason y 2000 Ford explorer isn't starting. Anti theft. How do I reset. Someone put another alarm on top of factory alarm. Wires messed up but my truck won't start. Computer said anyi theft...

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.

How to remove p1000 code on 06 ford escape hybrid 2.3

A P1000 code sets anytime the battery has been disconnected or any other codes have been cleared. All you can do is drive it normally until all the "emission monitors" have been reset. This may take a couple of days depending on your driving habits & times.

My 2008 Ford Escape has power. Lights work, wipers, everything works that has power but when I try to turn the key to start it nothing happens. I mean I don't even hear a clicking noise

Check the relays and fuses in the Power Distribution box under the hood. If all are good check the Alarm circuit ignition kill switch. If you didn't get the Alarm built into the vehicle but had it installed after you bought it remove the fuse from the Alarm power line to disable the kill switch. I did have this problem once and it turned out to be the battery on mine, a 2005 with Alarm built in. Unless you have the Hybrid version you could get in 2008 the vehicles are basically the same.

Need 2 reset alarm..if I reconnect battery the alarm sounds.the keychain alarm pad is inoperable at this time 2001 ford escape

There is more than likely a sequence to resetting the alarm, is the batterys in the remote flat as they are only 3 volts a piece (6 volts).

Ford Escape Hybrid goes dead if not driven for 3 days straight

I have the same problem with my 2007 Escape Hybrid... First experienced it about 1 year ago. The vehicle produces periodic sounds like an electric motor running for several seconds. I believe this is from the motor driven safety relay that disconnects and reconnects the high voltage hybrid battery when the vehicle is not in use. I also can hear a high frequency scream that sounds like a switching inverter power supply. If the vehicle is unused for a day or two the 12V battery is discharged and a jump is needed to start the engine. Ford service could not diagnose the problem. The +12V battery tested OK, but since it was almost 3 years old it was replaced anyway. This helped for a while, but the problem returned after I recently left the vehicle unused for several days. I know the battery is good, it tests OK and is less than one year old! Somewhat reluctant to go back to the same Ford service agency because of their previous failure to fix it. Please advise if you have found a solution or have additional information. This is the only problem I have ever had with the hybrid Escape, but it is very annoying. I am forced to carry a jumper battery to make sure I don't get stranded.
