ELM 327 OBD Adapter you MUST use- amzn.to/2yg0HPT

@codycastle7807 6 лет назад

I have tried this adapter. However with my 2005 escape I cannot get it to read the GEM module. What should I do to find the right door sensor?

@whodat99991 5 лет назад

I need ti find someone in Houston TX with FORScan, I have a 2006 Ford Escape with alarm issues, I replace the hood ajar switch that did help some.

@whodat99991 5 лет назад

Would the FORScan lite (smartphone) show us the door ajar and alarm issues? I'm going to figure this out soon? $5.99 google play store $10 bluetooth reader?

@whodat99991 5 лет назад

can you do an update with the new forscan? I'm going thry the alarm issue and the new forscan does not look like this?

@akeemtaylor2356 3 года назад

I have the forscan V2.3.33 beta and the recommended OBD adapter connects works good. I cannot find the data logger nor can I find the anywhere to get to the security alarms. Any ideas. On my forscan my icons are on the left side of the screen vertically.

Dropping in with a comment to say, THANK YOU! My car had this issue and it drove me insane. I tried taking it into a shop for diag, but they couldn't replicate the issue of course, so this video saved me! Super appreciate it, especially having the parts linked in the description.

Thank you for your professional and helpful videos. The WD-40 soak worked great and as you said was temporary. It solved the problem for about a month and got me through today on my 2014 F150 STX .

@markbowers1990 5 лет назад

Very helpful! My '04 Escape started acting "twitchy" when I shut it off...a few weird flashes on the dash and maybe/maybe not the key fob would lock it. When the fob worked, the alarm would go off within 20 minutes or so. I elected to skip all the diagnostics and just WD-40 and exercise the heck out of all the door/hatch/hatch window latches as well as exercise the hood open sensor. Victory! I don't know which latch was the guilty culprit, but my money is on the driver's door. Any-hoo, 4 days later and everything is ok! Thanks for the video tips!

Wish I had come across this before paying $130 "diagnosis fee" to the dealership last year. Their response? "We weren't able to replicate the problem." As in, we parked it in our garage for a few hours and nothing happened. Basically paid for an expensive parking spot.

@Lowden025 2 года назад

I have a 2000 mercury sable that had the horn alarm going off on its own at anytime. I found a solution on a ford forum site where this guy figured out how to stop it. All you need to do is this. When you get out of your car all the locks are on. The driver door unlocks when you open it to get out. Then depress the door lock button. What you re doing is not setting the alarm using your electronic door locker which is what activates the alarm mode. My friends across the street were thrilled! Haaa.

My door ajar light was on, I hit the latch with WD-40. Works great now! Bitchin trick man.

@midwestriders1 8 лет назад

I find the wires in the rubber in the crack of the doors broke a lot also. Also If you ever have a vehicle where all the windows dont work. I have fixed a lot by checking the wires going in the cracks of the doors and if no wires are broke there I always take out the driver and passenger seat and 90 percent of the time the wires are corroded under the seat because its the lowest point of the interior and all the water and moisture collects there and that's how they run the wires to each door is usually under the carpet under the seats.

@christianhill3377 7 лет назад

@jfarley777 6 лет назад

You relied on logged history in OBD to get you headed in the right direction. I have a similar problem with 2 escapes and random alarms. I'm using Forscan/OBDLink MX and a BlueDriver scanner but neither seem to be able to retrieve the stored events. All the latch sensors seem to be behaving fine during live inspection so I'm kinda stuck. If my tools can't see it, I'll want to check with a diagnostic center -- what would they need to have to be able to get this information? THanks for all you do.

Thank you for posting these how to videos. I have learned from them and enjoyed the content. Quick question I hope you can help with. We have an 05 Escape we have had since new and is now on the second child driving it. I have done the bypass of the door ajar switch on all four doors. But now the door chime goes off when the vehicle is in reverse or drive. I may have bypassed the wrong wire in the drivers door as I did not have a diagram for the wiring and think I bypassed the same color wire as passenger door. I f I did this correctly is there a way to disable the door chime? I thought the bypass of the door ajar switch tricked the computer into thinking the doors are closed. Any way the alarm has not gone off since doing the bypass. Thanks again hope you have some advice for this situation.

@vn1500g3 9 лет назад

Had this same issue with my 2002 Ford explorer. Tracked it down to the passenger front door. Ended up having to get a new door ajar switch because the old one was physically stuck in the open position. The switches aren't cheap for the explorers and hard to find for the passenger side since they rarely go out.

@chriskeiley5343 7 лет назад

same problem with my 03. passenger side says open all the time. drivers side intermittent.

@laurencain1932 7 лет назад

I have a 2002 Explorer that has issues with the alarm and door ajar light, but the light isn't on all the time. It sporadically comes on when I'm driving- the chime goes off, the doors lock themselves, and the hub light flashes on and off. The alarm would also go off randomly, sometimes several times a day, until I just went ahead and took out the horn fuses. Do you think what you did in this video would solve my problem too or is something else causing this problem?

@jasongross7397 7 лет назад

I got a used 2001 Ford Excursion Limited (7.3L Diesel V8), but the owner only had a single, ordinary all-metal key (no chip, no spare). The vehicle still starts with the ordinary key, no problem. The problem I'm having is whenever I open any of the doors, the interior lights and the running board lights go on and stay on, even after I shut the door... this happens whenever I open any of the doors. Eventually (maybe after 30 minutes) the lights shut off. During the time when they are on, I've noticed the "Theft" light on the dash blinks every three seconds. I've tried lubricating all the door latches, but that didn't resolve the issue. What would you recommend?

@fabrilee123 5 лет назад

@stevenmarkovich8945 3 года назад

I dont have the tech to get these readings on my 2002 ford explorer. Is there a way for me to just disable my alarm altogether? My neighbors have called the cops on me twice for my alarm going off at random times in the night. I just leave the battery unhooked at this point.

Make sure to buy the elm27 with the ms-can/hs-can switch. I had to add the switch to read the door ajar circuit with the forscan software for my 2006 escape. The link he has up is to the elm327 with hs-can only.

@johnsimler649 5 лет назад

I have a 2007 Escape that when it is parked and doors are locked alarm will randomly go off on occasion. I have isolated it to the drivers door. My question is I don't get any door ajar light or dome light coming on etc, no alarm coming on while driving, would this still be a door ajar switch or could it be another switch? I have found if I leave the drivers door unlocked while parked alarm doesn't go off or it hasn't the last couple of days. I tried spraying like you described though I had a temporary fix but alarm went off again. The only thing that works is leaving drivers door unlocked. Your input would be deeply appreciated.

What if your car locks and the interior lights are coming on as your driving and at times when parked as well? Plus the auto headlight feature is not working. The car is a 2002 Ford Taurus SEL. The alarm will also go off for no reason after its parked and locked with the key fob. What should be checked and in what order? It's possessed just like that movie Christine!

@tatertots-n-soup Год назад

Weak fob battery can trip the alarm. Make sure both remotes have good batteries

@Mare_Island Год назад

@@tatertots-n-soup thanks for the tip. I thought that could be the issue so I replaced both batteries but still have the issue. Seems to be isolated to the drivers door. Anytime the door is locked and the alarm is set it trips. Always shows panic alarm in IDS. I gave up and we just don't lock the door anymore.

@tatertots-n-soup Год назад

I have a '13 Explorer XLT w/tow. Intermittent door ajar for front passenger and driver doors. I removed the passenger door to inspect wiring. Did not see any short, pulled, bare wires. No worn, chaffed or pinched wire insulation or wrapping. At the time of repair only passenger door ajar light was failed. So I unplugged the lock assembly connector and jumped black w/ yellow stripe. The on-dash door ajar light worked normal as it was unplugged and plugged back in. The door latch assembly was replaced immediately. I have not seen a false passenger or driver doors1 ajar light since. So I have a question. If one intermittent latch assembly failure can cause a false intermittent error on the other door too?

@tatertots-n-soup 11 месяцев назад

Sure enough 10days later the drivers door failed. Spraying helped for a couple days then needed to be sprayed everytime. Had the latch assembly already so removed and replaced.

HI Brian, I've been subbed to your channel for several years and appreciate your videos. I have a 2005 escape with a DR PDL actuator that's not working. I have confirmed that all the door ajar switches work, including the one for the RR door. Initially when I first got the escape last month, I had a flickering dome light and the door ajar light on the dash flickered at the same time. I thought I had an ajar switch issue, but I cleaned all the body grounds I could find and that issue has not occurred since. When I pull the RR door panel off and disconnect the wire harness plug to the actuator assy, can I back probe one of the wires to check for power for the door lock actuator? I'd be using a 12v test light for this. If so, do you know what color the wire is I need to check? I'd like to confirm it's an actuator issues and not a wiring issue before I buy the actuator assembly. Thanks for your help, I appreciate it. -Greg

It would have been much more helpful if you had done this in your garage so we could see the screen on your laptop. Too much glare to be useful in understanding how to use the FORScan software.

Hi! I am having this problem and purchased the OBDLink MX bluetooth device. I have connected it to my laptap and can see the software. The problem is, I don't know what I'm looking for. There are no "alarms" or issues to resolve. My question is, I wonder if I need to purchase the additonal Ford software as well? There's no great instructions as to the name of the sensors or alarms I'm looking for. Does that make sense? My knowledge on this is so extremely small, I don't know if I'm communicating my questions well :) Thanks!

Ok. I see that it's the GEM module that houses the door alarms. But it says I have no issues to solve. HELP!! I definitely have issues. I just sprayed last night with WD40 but I haven't driven anywhere yet. I have a 4-hour drive coming up on Monday and will go nuts if it alarms the whole time. Interestingly, I noticed it didn't do it AT ALL during the winter. The hotter it gets, the more it happens. Any thoughts on that?

Sure was sun heading down I am just glad the gopro can handle it instead of just giving up and darkening the item being recorded.

You could see the screen, but YUK! It is about normal for a mechanic to have problems like this. :-)

Dude most people don’t have that type of diagnostics.

@FordTechMakuloco 2 года назад

There are many free scan tool options that only require a $35 adapter.

@@FordTechMakuloco which ones will show this?

@deeemm5496 Год назад

Too technical. Maybe video meant for the pros. Could we get some easy tutorials for the novice who has no diagnostic tool at his disposal but wants a first aid for his vehicle alarm? Thanks.

The solution? Don't buy Ford. I have a 2013 Ford Edge had door adjar issues and replaced transmission at 84K miles. All very common issues. POS vehicles!
