Hi.
As some of you know, I own an Ex-highway patrol car. Ever since i picked it up, the panic button never worked (it works on keypad but car doesnt respond) and whenever I lock or unlock the car the indicators never flash to confirm the car has been locked or not. Even if a door is open and you lock it, it wont even beep the horn at you. Obviously the police have de-activated it. Is there some way of turning all this back on? Cause I'm sick of locking my car, only to find when I return that it never locked cause a door was ajar, or I hit the panic button to get the cat / dog etc away from it and it never makes a peep. Thanks James

I dont have an answer to the problem but would be interested to find out.
I also have an AU3 ex cop car and it has similar problems. The panic button on the remote will make the lights flash but the horn does not sound at all and if i have an ajar door...no sound when i go to lock it.

It would have been turned off or bypassed so they dont attract attention in the middle of the night when they need to lock the car and sneak up on a crim.

this is one of the reasons why we refused to buy ex-cop cars to be cabs
too much weird ****, too much heartache. you think you've got a good deal, but as life goes on, you realise it wasn't such a good deal after all....

Next time you pass one up send it my way
 Go the cop cars!By the way that is controlled by the BEM, check out what colour yours is you might find it's not the standard one. |

You can't lock it with the key on the run

I also think you would have a re-programmed BEM.....i've checked the owners manually but there is not option for turning these things on/off. The only thing we can change is the unlocking form stage 1 (one press drivers door & 2 presses all doors) or stage 2 which is all doors in one go.
Ring a ford service dept. & see if it can be re-programmed back otherwise I guess you will need to replace the BEM, i'm not sure but that may require reprogramming to keys also. Cheers, Adrian.

almost certainly a job for ford james, the BEM would have been set to police spec and its not something you can change without the use of a WDS.
