The vehicle listed above is a Limited model with factory alarm. My alarm module drowned when I was washing my car (common problem with this model and others - covered by a TSB). The headlights and flashers and horn all going, wouldn't stop by pressing unlock on key fob or inserting my original Ford key in the ignition.
I disconnected the neg battery and waited. After a couple of hours, I reconnected the negative battery and the alarm went off again (pulled neg battery again).
After trying numerous troubleshooting fixes, I unplugged the connector on the "alarm" side of the alarm module so I could drive it (my keyless remote still works for doors and panic, but no alarm function or starter immobilizer).
After a week, I disconnected the negative battery, re-plugged in the connector, reconnected the neg battery terminal and the alarm went off (flashing headlights, flashers and horn). Didn't stop when I pressed unlock on remote or inserted my ignition key, but I was able to start and drive the car with lights flashing and horn blowing (which confuses me).
Any suggestions? I can drive it with the alarm connector pulled but I'd really like to have the alarm functions again.
