2006 ford f150 pats bypass suggestions

Sigh, either I have REALLY bad luck with these bypass modules, or my truck cannot be bypassed without a key. I did order and attempt to use the 1100F as recommended, and I have the module in Type 2 programming. I have tried multiple times to program the bypass and the LED remains RED indicating that it is incorrectly programmed. I know that I have the TX and RX wires correct, GWR is hooked up correctly, IGN is hooked correctly and the unit has 12 volts. I am following the instructions to the letter. If anyone has any suggestions, I am all ears.

There are a few things you can try. First verify all your connections are good solder joints. Do a Factory Reset on the module and then lock in the 2 Blink, W2W, Standard Mode selection between each programming attempt. Being as you have three keys and there is a chance that there could be a clone in the mix ( hopefully only one, max ), you might have to label the keys and try several times with all the possible different key combinations. Remember that timing is critical. Sometimes going by the vehicles security light is best, other times watching the 1100F's LED works and even going by a straight 4 second count between steps might work. Don't forget to press the programming button after taking the second key out. Also, just jumping the Ignition wire instead of an actual remote start can aid in the programming timing. On the newer Ford's ( 2011 & up ), getting the bypass's chassis ground from the transponder connector is necessary. It won't hurt to try that, too.Soldering is fun!
