Today I did the testing with a volt meter and I found there were a total of 3 wires wired by bulldog into there own T-harness for my vehicle. The one that was supposed to be powering my accessories went to a wire that was not even  connected in the vehicle. Cut all the wires and soldiered them to the correct wires. Reinstalled and now everything works as it should.  Well that is after buying a new unit and bringing the old one back. I could not find any burnt wires so I exspected it was the unit although it still started the vehicle the led on it no longer was lit. I unplugged it and erased the memory and when plugging it back in it tried to flash the three times it was supposed to then stay on but only flashed once so I suspect something was fried. Just have to wait for my relay to get here for the auto lock function. I believe it will be here tomorrow. Hopefully cant wait till Im done. Im still calling bulldog and they still have not called me back also left them two emails to there tech support dept. with no response. Thanks for  all the help.

I had a question maybe someone on here can help with. I have a RAP module but when testing if I had an alarm I got no honky, honky. My question is are some of these units just keyless entry without alarm or do they all have alarms and if so where is my Dark GREEN/ purple wire? Ive looked all over in the kick pannel and at the module and the closest I found was a light GREEN/ purple.

I've never seen an F-Series with a factory alarm, but I think the 2010s have an alarm now.
Even most Navigators don't come with an alarm.

 The ford site states it is called remote anti-theft personality. That it is also an alarm.

How To Disable AutoLocks

Note: < style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: green! important; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, sans-serif; POSITION: static" color=green>Manual transmission

vehicles have this feature disabled at the factory. This procedure applies to most newer Ford vehicles, not just < style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: green! important; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, sans-serif; POSITION: static" color=green>Ford trucks.

The enable/disable mode allows the autolock feature to be turned off and on. On manual < style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: green! important; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, sans-serif; POSITION: static" color=green>transmission vehicles, when replacing the remote anti-theft personality (RAP) module, the autolock feature must be turned off by using the enable/disable mode.

The enable/disable mode is entered when the following series of steps is performed:

1. Confirm that the perimeter alarm is disarmed.

2. Close all doors.

3. Confirm that the < style="FONT-WEIGHT: 400; COLOR: green! important; FONT-FAMILY: Verdana, sans-serif; POSITION: static" color=green>ignition switch is in the OFF position.

Note: Steps 4 through 8 must be performed within 30 seconds.

4. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to RUN.

5. Press the power door lock UNLOCK button three times.

6. Turn the ignition switch from RUN to OFF.

7. Press the power door lock UNLOCK button three times.

8. Turn the ignition switch from OFF to RUN.

9. Verify that the RAP module chirps the horn. This indicates that the RAP module is now in the enable/disable mode and ready to accept program changes.

10. Press the power door lock UNLOCK button one time to command the RAP module to toggle the autolock/relock feature ON or OFF.

11. Press the power door lock LOCK button once to enter the command.

12. Verify that the vehicle horn chirps one time to signal the RAP module confirmation of the command. There should only be one chirp indicating that the autolock/relock feature has been disabled. If one chirp is heard, followed by a longer honk, the autolock/relock feature has just been enabled. Return to step 10.

13. Turn the ignition switch to the OFF position to exit the enable/disable mode.

14. Verify that the RAP module chirps the horn once to indicate that a feature has been changed.

The autolock and the appropriate alarm configuration are turned on at the factory on vehicles with automatic transmissions. Vehicles with manual transmissions have the autolock turned off at the factory. The RAP module returns to the prior setting any time battery power is interrupted.

 Well I thought everything was fixed but maybe not. I started truck with starter let it warm-up. Put my key in stepped on brake rs shuts off as its supposed to. Drove to post office. Pushed the start button so it would say warm took my keys out and went inside. Then when I came out I put keys in stepped on brake and rs unit turnned off as supposed to. I drove home turned the truck off went inside. With keys and fobs on the kitchen table and I was in the other room. No one around the keys or fobs at all. About 15minutes pass and I here a truck running in the driveway so I look to see who's here. Nobody the truck started itself and was running. When I went out to check it out. The fimiliar smell of burnt plastic. The led on starter not working anymore. I know three pulses of the unlock wire can start the truck. The doors werent locked and I didnt lock them. What could be causing this? Truck to start on its own and units messing up? Everything seemed to work perfect.
