Anti-Theft system


Ok, I have a 1998 F150 XLT 4x4 S-Cab 4.6L V8 automatic. I have had a few problems in the past, hey its a Ford youre gonna have that right...
Here is one that is making me gun crazy. My anti theft system, locked, unlocked one dorr locked one door unlocked, by hand by the key fob it just does not matter this dam thing will just go off on its own, my neighbors really dislike me...
All i want to do is disarm the dam thing, anyone know how to do that? The fuse cant be pulled it is tied in with the inst pnl lights. Is there a sensor that can be pulled or replaced?
Please help, and thank you for letting me vent

Frustrated

The easy way is to ground the wire from the door theft sensors.
This is the Dark Green w/ pink stripe wire at the RAP ( Remote Anti-theft Personality ) module.


The RAP should be up behind the dash on the driver's side
Note parking brake to the left side of the picture.
Driver's side floor.


Looking up behind dash.
Left side of picture is the ratchet mech for the parking brake.

Man, SSCULLY
That might be the best answer I've ever read. I don't even have the question that OP did. I'm just browsin' through some stuff and I am REALLY impressed with your answer.

I hope it's right. : )

anti theft randomly goes off

Are you saying add a wire in one location then ground it to a metal frame?

Can you complete your profile or post some information on your Truck.
- year and trim level.

Are you sure it is a factory system that is randomly going off ?
- How are you verifying this ?

Lights flash and horn honks. I put the key in driver door and unlock to turn off horn and love light.

How you are verifying this is a FACTORY system and not an aftermarket system also installed ?

Nice thread hijack. I thought prescotti67 was asking a question.
