Installed keyless in 04 Ford Taurus and everything worked great. Went to lunch and let the car sit for a while and when I tried to unlock it didn't work. I unlocked it with the key and then everything seemed to work. I tried it again and let the car sit for awhile (about 1 hour) and the same thing. Is something going to sleep like the F-350? Please help!

It sounds like the bcm is shuting down. You might try and pulse the door trigger wire through a relay off the unlock wire.

Areyou pulsing the factory disarm wire before you unlock.... ? that will wake up the module.

Does the car have factory security?

No, I am not pulsing the factory disarm, but I will sure as hell try that. I thought something was going to sleep, but on all my tech notes it says nothing about waking up anything. I will try both these suggestions and let you know. Thanks for the quick replys guys.

Actually the 04 Taurus do have the trim switch disable feature. I don't see any information listing it either, but they do have it. Try the other suggestions or wire up driver door priority if you want that will take care of it.
