So, you reached in and opened the door and the alarm simply sounded immediately? That's the way it USED to work but apparently, the newer (USA) versions have the countdown warning on the display panel of the truck before sounding.

That was my guess, too. Prevents a lot of false positives. I'm glad to hear it's only a minute or so. I thought it was preposterous to go 15!!! Thanks!

Yep, that's the one!!! Now, I just wonder how long that time threshold is???

Well, I'll be. Set the lock with the Securicode pad and left it for 15 minutes. Opened the door and the beeping started!!! Got faster, then really fast, then POW! Well, at least I know I didn't screw anything up!!! Thanks for all the replies. We all learned something new today!

Yeah, I'm in a small town and this family is Ford through and through. They truly know their product and in my dealings with them over the past five years, they have filled me with confidence, as opposed to what most dealers fill me with.

OK, so an update. I talked with the owner of my local Ford dealer and he suggested that there was a time setting built in that must be hit before the alarm is set. He didn't know if it was 5 minutes or 15 minutes or whatever but he said it's not like you lock the doors and boom, the system is...

It's not working with EITHER! That's why I'm pretty sure this is messed up.

It should have the alarm system when I lock with the fob, regardless of the Securicode pad, though. I lock with the fob and get nothing.

So, an owner was asking a question about how the alarm worked when using the Securicode keyless entry. Before I responded, I went out to my truck to double-check. Apparently, not at all was the answer. I put my window down, then locked the door with the push-button panel. (Just to be safe...

Holy smokes, that guy did some serious wiring! That might have scared me more than anything!!! :eek::wink: Looks like I've got a project to try this summer. Thanks, again.

Hi, Phil. I had seen that before but wasn't exactly sure what I was doing, especially with getting the line through the firewall. I would like to do that option if I had a better handle on running (and fusing) the wire. Thanks!

Thank you for this, with the color coded explanation. I have need to use the 12V for extended periods as our Ranger is actually our toad vehicle behind our MH and I need to power my braking system. There was nothing that I found in the documentation other than 1 = enable, 0 = disable; it...

Paul, if I'm understanding it correctly, that is the same recall. Part of the problem with the child seat anchors is the headrest being so difficult.

I didn't get any notification but I did stumble across this article today. https://fordauthority.com/2021/10/2020-2021-ford-ranger-recalled-over-safety-issue-with-head-restraints/

Looking for something else and saw this thread. My mileage has been very consistent and right around 19 combined. However, the one time where I knew I was going to be driving a lot of highway that day, I filled it in the morning and again when I got back into town and got 24.6 mpg. This is...

To go along with Phil and John... Good luck with your decision!

I'll give that a shot tomorrow. Thanks!

That I have not. I did find a thread about a bad bunch of batteries but that looked like it was in the 2019 model. I guess it wouldn't hurt to try it.

OK, so this is really strange behavior and I notice it because I frequently use my keypad. If this has been discussed, my apologies. I did a search but could not find it. Let's say for example that my code is 1-5-9-3-7. MOST of the time, when I press the "7" at the end, the doors all unlock...
