The alarm system likely has a main wire from the battery to the system module. It will be smaller than the regular battery cables and probably hooked to the positive post .
There may be a series of wires so unhook them one at a time. When you unhook ( or cut ) the correct one, the alarm won't work anymore . You need to be aware though, some direct battery wires run other systems on the vehicle. If thats the case then you need to find and un hook the alarm module from 12 volt source at the module

SOURCE: 1996 Explorer anti-theft system won't disable

Try re-setting the computer...Disconnect the negative terminal of the battery and leave off for 5-10 minutes. This will allow the computer to reset. The charger may have interupted the signal or something.

My 1998 Ford Ranger will not crank or start is it the factory alarm or anti theft alarm? How could I fix it myself

Is the security light flashing while trying to start the vehicle ?
The theft warning system provides the vehicle with protection from unauthorized entry into the passenger compartment and engine compartment (hood opening). It also protects against engine starting through ignition keylock cylinder tampering. If triggered, the system provides both audio and visual alarm signals and disables the starter circuit.
Sorry but you will have to take it to the dealer if it's the anti-theft system

Flashing theft light

Are you setting your car alarm? a flashing light that says theft on it is normally an alarm system that is activated when you lock your doors, if this is comming on during driving it can be due to the alarm system being disabled or other wise having problems.

I have a 1996 Ford Taurus. Got a new battery (First I ever had to replace) after putting it in (same spec battery as the factory one I replaced) the Car alarm makes the Lights flash for about 1-2 mins...

To disable the alarm you must go to the specialised ford garage. They will hawe all the codes and equipment to fix that. You may want to stay away fromunqualified guys. They will charge you for the job, but the problem can come out again.

I changed my battery yesterday and now the alarm system i never knew i had started going off, i disabled the horn but now my truck won't start.

Get the make model and serial number on that alarm and contact the company to find out how to disarm it.

Or.....you can try getting an alarm fob and reprogramming it yourself?

The final thing....remove it! If the thing plugs into the car....take it out!
I would make sure you get the manual before trying this one.

How do i disable alarm for my 1996 thunderbird lx 4.6

Ok, try this.
Put the key in the ignition, and turn forward
all the way just before cranking. Then within
5 seconds, press and hold in the valet/overide
button, found under the dash area in most cases,
until the installed LED (the blinking light)
in your dash area comes on solid.
(Your valet switch might be the toggle (on/off) type.
in this case, key on, flip switch in oposite direction,
key off.)

This should be valet. This overides
the starter kill relay in the alarm harness,
and returns the car back to disarmed mode.

The only thing that will work now on your system,
is the keyless entry if installed.

Just Repeat these steps to rearm your system.
