There should be 3 wires 2 PURPLE / white 1 of them is brake, the other is parking lights also there should be a blue/green wire which should be door lock from the passenger switch.    If you do have the correct wire maybe you blew a fuse in the truck causing your lights not to work ?

Where is this sill plate you speak of? Passenger side or DKP?

DKP under where you step you need to remove the plastic cover and the wire will be in thereIf i Can't Install it    I Don't need it   Joe

Or in the Queen's English, carpet edge plate, goes with wings bumpers and HRW.

Thanks guys. Everything is apparently connected. The only thing is the alarm won't trigger...I didn't connected the shock sensor, so I'm only testing by opening the door after the alarm is armed. No siren sounds when it's opened. I have the door trigger wire connected to a gray/purple wire in the DKP. I was able to test the wire and saw that it goes to 12v if the dome light comes on or if the door is opened. I didn't connect the instant trigger, but I didn't know I had to. Any ideas? Is there a different wire to connect to, or do I also need to connect the neg dome light wire?

Apparently something had it out for me with this install...I previously installed this alarm in my wife's Mazda5. It was only in there for about 3 months before she traded in. I took it out myself and it sat boxed up waiting to go into the Edge. I say this because it was working perfectly fine in the Mazda5....fast forward to today and nothing is tripping the alarm...turns out security was disabled and I had to enable the security feature! It was never disabled and it was working fine in the Mazda....go figure. At least it's done (after 8 pages!!) and I can finally hand her the keys. I wouldn't have been able to get it taken care of without all of the people who responded in these 8 pages. I can not thank you enough! Not only was I able to nstall it with your help, I can also troubleshoot and plan out my install much better with the use of a DMM. Thanks again guys!

That is the key point here... lol. ALWAYS check everything with the DMM. Never just assume the diagrams are correct.Kenny
