Alarm keeps going off on my dads car

As some of you may know my dads escort keeps going wrong, the imboliser and central locking packed up months ago.

This morning the alarm keeps going off everytime you put the ignition on. But all the doors other than the drivers are deadlocked so only one door opens (the drivers door). The tailgate won't even open.

I then opened the bonet and the alarm went off again.

Does anybody know any simple way of fixing it? I can't disconnect the alarm horn because its located in the back of the car and I can't get into the boot.

Some people have suggested checking for loose connections near the alarm circuit but does anybody know where this is located on a 1.6 1995 N escort?

Thanks for any advice. Its gettign to the point where my dad just wants to sell the car for £500 and buy a J reg banger now.

 

Torch the bloody thing and claim on the insurance - it'll be easier....

 

simplest way of fixing...
1) drive to petrol station and fill one gallon can with unleaded petrol.
2) dive to deserted bit of wasteground at night.
3) liberally coat the interior of the car with the petrol purchased at the petrol station in (1).
4) fill a milk bottle with remaining petrol and stick an oily rag in the opening.
5) light oily rag and throw through open window of car making sure the bottle smashes.
6) run like buggery
7) in the morning report the car stolen
8) call insurance company when car is discovered by police.

7 and 8 are at your discression as the are illegal of course.

this will in fact solve ALL the problems you have with your POS car.

I fixed it in the end. What I think happend is the switch inside the key that decatives the alarm had frozen up. The deadlocks on my dads door don't work anyway. So when the door was open the alarm circuit was still on the switch didn't work.

It took me a few hours to figure that one out. It all works fine now. (till the next time).

 

I once watched some North Manchester joy riders kill their ride without directly resorting to arson.

They simply put a brick on the accelerator and left the engine reving at max for about 20 or 30 minutes. Eventually the engine caught fire and torched the rest of the car. The petrol tank went with a hell of a bang.

 

it's always a pleasure to see professionals at work

The ferrari F1 team replaced their pit crew with some bristol youths.

No one can get the wheels off a ferrari quicker.

 

hehe that made me laugh. Talking of North Manchester I've seen kinds trying to take the wheels of buses down Briscoe Lane. I try and do my very best to avoid that area now.

 

i heard that althougth the youths were able to change the wheels in under 4 seconds ferrari lost out on the deal when said youths resprayed the car and flogged it to mc-laren for 4 cans of special brew,a gram of coke and a quick look at coultards bird in the shower

 

It was scousers Isaac
and they managed to respray aswell, then sould it for a gram of coke and a shifty at coultards missus

<beaten to it by the hippy>

The scum in Bristol aint clever enough to change wheels
