Hi All, My BA was sold me with no key for the alarm siren, I've decided to swap it out for a $20 aftermarket siren so I will at least have a siren with a key to it. Just wanting to identify the 3 existing alarm siren wires - black, red and white. Just to make things interesting my new siren has 4 wires - black, red, white and blue. Confirmed as - Ground, 12+ constant, + trigger and - trigger.. I wasn't exactly sure how to make 4 wires go into 3 however I was at least hopeful to match up colours and off I go.. Sounded promising when key fobs chirped the new alarm however as much as I enjoyed the alarm siren sounding to my turning signals I.e. Anytime a blinker illuminated.. Did make people think I was a cop car. Maybe ford wanted to keep people guessing, maybe black is positive in this case who knows. In terms of the 4 into 3 issue my options as far as I can see are (once I know which existing wire does what) to either; 1. wire - trigger into earth, or 2. wire + trigger into positive constant. Good times.

hi guys, need some help please. last night at about 2.30am the mrs car alarm/horn started going off intermittently. we dont have an aftermark alarm fitted on the car only the stock red emergency button on the key (which I dont even think is an alarm). I had to disconnect the battery to kill it so we could get some sleep. today I called ford who told me they thought it was the battery in the remotes, so we took the battery out of both remotes and still it keeps going off. the only way to stop it is either start the car or press the red button on the remote. does anyone have any other suggestions as I'm completley stuck and not sure what to do??? cheers in advance for your help.

I have been having an issue with the factory alarm/immobiliser going off randomly on my BA XR6. It will go off once an hour to the point where some nights I have to disconnect my battery to stop it. The door remotes stopped working a while ago but my car still lock but I am not sure if they are connected. If someone can shed some light on the issue that would be great as the last 2 auto electricians I saw were at a loss. Thanks
