How to disable Magic Start Alarm

My Ford E350 was equipped with after Magic Start alarm system. The main battery recently was drained for a few weeks. The battery has been fully charged but I am not able to start the car. I think it maybe that the "Magic Start" alarm was reset. How can I disable this alarm? Thanks

  • From your description it sounds like the sensor is mounted inside the column cover. You are probably going to have to remove the  column cover to access it. Once the column cover is off you should be able to see the factory wire they cut and reattach the cut wires together.

      Yes, the "problem" is easy to fix. The "magic alarm" is the dealer's scam. Just remove the cover and remove the "alarm" .  It takes 2 minutes.   the car works perfectly once the once the device is removed,

        The spot to place the FOB is on the steering column of the used fleetwood storm we just bought, any idea where the cover might be located or what it looks like?
