Battery wire were cut and need to reconnect - 1996 Ford Explorer

You need an auto-electrician. When you cut those wires, you momentarily shorted the power across all 4 wires with whatever you used to cut them.

Then when you disconnected the battery, you disconnected the alarm and immobilizer. On reconnection, the system is lost.

Moral of the story, don't cut wires.

gps tracker should be plugged into ob2 port trace wires out one by one and disconnect if the spliced into a wire unplug it if a wire is cut to loop through tracker first remove and reconnect cut wires recommend soldering and heat shrinking cut wires

Did you resplice the cut wires with solder and shrink wrap - try that first. Then reset the car by disconnecting battery for 30 minutes and reconnect. You want the ecm to re-boot.

Reconnect all cut wires should be color coated match them back should be fine. Make sure wire color connection match same color.

If you don't have power to the starter or headlights, they may have blown a major fuseable link. You'll need to track the power from the positive battery post to the main fuses. Also make sure the battery is grounded to the frame and also the engine.

normally there is only one earth wire on a battery as all units earth through this wire to the negative terminal. I would not bother trying to reconnect the cut wires as this will lead to problems further on. Go to a wrecker that handles you model vehicle and get the positive terminal wiring loom and replace all the cut wires . Leave the negative terminal off while you are doing this.

Well if they were able to cut this wire, I am assuming they were able to get into the car? But if your dad can open the hood and take the negative wire cable off of the battery then he can bridge the wire that was cut, hopefully.

He will need a small wire clamp kit that they can get at an AutoZone or Atuo Parts store. After he fixes the wire that was cut, he will need to disconnect the positive wire cable from the battery and then reconnect both of them. that should keep the alarm from going back off, however it may reset the system. Either way if he has the spare remote they should be back in business and can get your care moved and the alarm to work again.

Good Luck!

i dont think you mean take the light out if you clean the eyes on the rotors and make sure none of the wires are cut disconnect the battery for 5 min then reconnect the battery and the light will go out. if you want to remove the bulb all you need is a Phillips screwdriver pull the dash out and remove the bulb good luck

check your fuses, you must have blown one or more!!never cut wires while your battery is connected and never reconnect your battery while wires are cut and exposed!!
