It sounds as if you have the unit in valet mode. The manual for that system can be found here. It will explain all the ways to take the system in and out of valet mode via the remote and the valet switch.

Hope this helps.

Sounds like the ignition wire for the alarm may not be connected properly. The beeps are to let you know that the alarm was triggered while you were away from the car. The unit is supposed to reset when you trn the ignition on. To test if that's the problem. Get in the truck. Arm the alarm. Wait about 15 seconds. Put the key in the ignition slowly so you don't trigger the shock sensor. turn the igition on. If the alarm doesn't start going off, then that's the problem.

The 550 ignition wire is on the relay packet (pink, not pink/white). My guess is you didnt hook this up.
You can also cut the ribbon before it reaches the relay and connect the ignition wire.
