4 new problems at once Doorlocks,Autoheadlights...
OK we went inside the pet store and came out and hit the remote to unlock the doors but they wouldnt open. Come to find out theirs a lot more to it then just that.
The truck is a 2006 F150 Supercrew Lariat. It has an aftermarket Remote start and stereo but these have been installed for over a year without any problems.
Problem. Not only have the door locks stop working but also the Automatic headlights stopped working ( They work in manual position ) Also the radio now longer shuts off when the key is taken out and the door is open. The dome light no longer comes on when the door is open ( It comes on when the key is turned off though.
I checked all the fuses but they all seem to be good. I am thinking this may be a BCM problem but not sure. Any help would be great.

The issues could be the same source, or multiple.
The door & radio problem sounds like the splice in the driver's side door sill
Take a read of this thread, it provides a good amount of detail on similar symptoms and where the problem with the splice might be located ( seems to be slightly different depending on cab config & build date ).

The auto headlamps, just had this issue come up a few weeks ago, member had similar symptoms, and found a burnt off pin at the BSM / VSM ( Body / Vehicle Security Module), F-150 does not have a BCM, that is a GM term.

With the RKE, the door locks are also controlled by the VSM, so maybe check for a loose ground on the VSM is in order ??
Thread on getting to the BSM/VSM ( the name was changed mid 2006 MY, so they are interchangeable for the function , pins are slightly different on the BSM & VSM )
