Replacement valet led for factory alarm

Hello everyone, I have a 1998 F150 with a factory alarm. I had to remove parts of the steering column to fix turn signal and brake light. I was not careful enough and broke the valet led. I ordered a new one from ford and the one they sent me has 4 wires Grey,Black, red,and blue. The original one has 3 wires red, green , and blue. I uncoiled all the factory alarm and there is no place to plug the new led to the alarm. Does anyone have a schematic for the factory alarm? Or know what wires go to what wires. Any help would really be appreciated.

Is this a Ford Gold Remote Start / RKe and Alarm ?

There is no factory alarm, with an external LED.
If equiped the Perimeter alarm ( closest thing to a factory alarm which is Ignition tamper & door open without disarm ) is the anti theft light in the instrument cluster which is only 2 wires.

It is not a remote start. I assumed it was a factory alarm because of the Ford remotes. You know what they say about assumptions. Could it be a Code alarm?

That is the factory RKE ( Remote Keyless Entry ) fob, could have the Perimeter Alarm, but the diagram shows the antitheft in the cluster.

Where is the LED at ?

Left side on the panel that goes around the steering column. If that makes sense.
