need some help
ok guys i need some help and im not sure if this is the right forum so please let me know. i just got this 2000 stang and i like it alot. but im clueless on the alarm system. my key fob works the door locks and trunk right and when i press the red siren button the horn wont beep untill i press it twice. now theres a siren near the firewall on drivers side that has the wire cut. when i ran it direct to batt it worked. sometimes when i press the red button on fob the horn and lights just flashing and beeping out of control. why is the siren wire cut and how do i test the alarm? i got in the car window down hit the locks to lock and tried to open door nothing happen. can someone help me trace the problem and fix?...sorry so long winded..thanks

Any Ford alarm will require two clicks of the key fob to engage the alarm.
As far as being activated, usually it would require tampering of the steering column with the alarm still activated, a broken window, etc.
Even with the wires the way they are, if you engage the key fob twice, and the alarm makes one loud beeping noise, the alarm is on, and working.
