How to Troubleshoot a Ford Taurus Alarm System

Newer Ford Taurus cars are equipped with a car alarm that protects your vehicle from getting stolen or broken into. It is a good idea to arm your car anytime it is out of your sight. However, the car alarm can cause nuisance if it goes off when its not supposed to or malfunctions. It can cause panic instead of relief. Troubleshooting and fixing the problem with the alarm may help ease any frustrations and keep you from having to get your Taurus serviced.

Instructions

1

Check all the car doors to ensure that they are all latched tightly. The dome light in your Taurus will usually indicate if one of the doors is open. All doors must be secured before you leave your car to keep the alarm from sounding.

2

Replace the battery in your key fob. If the battery runs low, it can send unnecessary signals to your alarm system.

3

Make sure there is nothing is blocking the radio waves from your remote control to your Taurus when you are using it. Remove any obstacles between you and your vehicle.

4

Make sure you aim directly at the car. Some Taurus are not sensitive enough to receive signal from the car alarm remote control if you are a certain distance away.
