To reset the alarm on the Ford Explorer, you can choose between two methods. The first option involves opening the hood and disconnecting the positive battery cable for approximately 30 minutes. This action will allow the power in the CPU to deplete, prompting the system to reset itself upon restarting. The second option is to remove the fuse from the fuse box and wait for a similar period. This method will also reset the alarm but is more specific in targeting only that component. Disconnecting the battery will reset multiple functions, while pulling the fuse solely resets the alarm, requiring reference to the fuse diagram to identify the correct one.
To deactivate the anti-theft system, first get into your vehicle and close the door. Insert the key into the ignition and turn it from the off position to the run position eight times. On the eighth turn, leave the key in the on position and the anti-theft light will switch off.
