Remote unlocks doors, doesn't deactivate alarm w/o repeated presses
Subject says it all really, had this problem for a while. '95 GT convertible, stock keyless entry/alarm.
When I hit unlock the doors immediately unlock, however unless the horn sounds the car is still demobilized. I have to hit unlock anywhere from 2 to 50 more times till the horn sounds and the car can be started. (Otherwise nothing happens when you turn the ignition).
I'm using replacement remote keys which I haven't had a problem with before, and have tried retraining them to the car (crossing the connector in the trunk to do so). This doesn't solve the issue, although they continue to work fine as far as unlocking/locking the car.
I've had this problem twice in the cars life, and it seems to occur after work has been done on the car (probably with the battery disconnected for an amount of time). I don't recall clearly how it stopped the first time, I think Ford "reset" the alarm for whatever that is worth, but I don't have easy access to a dealership anymore.
Any thoughts much appreciated
