I've got a question about how the Ford factory keyless entry/RAP should be operating.

If I press the lock button on my keyfob once, the doors lock. If I press the lock button twice, the doors will lock and the horn will beep once and the lights will flash once.

If I press the unlock on the keyfob, the doors unlock, but the lights don't flash. If I press unlock twice, the lights still remain off. Should the lights flash on unlocking?

It seems like other cars have the lights flash when unlocking the vehicle.


Thanks

 

No, they don't flash when unlocking vehicle..
Nothing wrong with it at all..

Thanks FordMasterTech


One other question I forgot to ask in my original post is the RAP supposed to lock the doors when you put the truck in drive or get moving a certain speed?

 

They should lock, but it can be turned on or off.
Here is how........




How To Disable AutoLocks
Note: Manual transmission vehicles have this feature disabled at the factory. This procedure applies to most newer Ford vehicles, not just Ford trucks.

The enable/disable mode allows the autolock feature to be turned off and on. On manual 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 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.

 

i guess this is kinda an old thread but i was wondering how to disable the headlights from flashing when locking the truck with the remote, i have recently installed the sylvania HID lights and i know it is bad to quickly flash HID lights.

Thanks for the help
