1996 Explorer anti-theft system won't disable The anti-theft system on my 1996 Ford Explorer will not not turn-off with any normal method. Electronic keypad unlock on driver's door will not disable, starting the car will not disable, unlocking with remote will not disable. I can push the electric lock button on the driver's side open door, leave the car and close the door and the alarm system horn will stop. But just touching one key on the electronic keypad on the door, or unlocking the door with the key will set it off again, and starting the car will not disable it. This started when the car battery became low and had to be recharged. Dealer time?

Try re-setting the computer...Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery and leave off for 5-10 minutes. This will allow the computer to reset. The charger may have interupted the signal or something.

I was able to disconnect one of the two connectors on the anti-theft module and still operate my 1996 Club Wagon (E150) Van. The module on my vehicle is on the side side panel behind the driver seat.

Most ford vehicle the Pats system disables the starter electrical - keeping the starter from working.

Cant locate anti theft sys in 95 explorer

You can open the rear hatch, and the area where the jack is located on the driver's side, open that cover and look inside the panel up towards the front, you will see the anti-theft system with the information on it.
