It would depend on what immobilsier is fitted. I know some of the old clifford ones basically all they did want cut the wires to the ignition barrel and by pass this throught the immobiliser so all you needed to do was cut the wires off and join the original ones back up.

But there is so many different types and ways of immoblising the car.

Are the wires coming from the igniton barrel cut and by pased through the alarm? If so they cut all the alarm wires off and join the ford ones back up and it should work. Or before you cut it use another piece of wire and join then up just temporary to see if it will work.

The ford wires arent cut 2 extra wires from my immobiliser box are soldered to the ignition barrel and maybe 2 more wires coming from the box and going into the loom under the dash

I think if you follow the other 2 wires from the box there may be a wire that is cut and they go onto either side of it.

If that is the case join it back up and cut the ones from the alarm off.

The two coming from the ignition barrel might be power for the alarm maybe?
