Issues with security?

Just when we thought the engineers couldn't get more insane with their use of computers to perform simple, common sense functions that don't require those computers, they still did manage to screw up our electrical systems even more. If you added a factory light package designed for your vehicle, the Body Computer and / or Integrated Power Module has to be reprogrammed by the dealer to know those lights are there, otherwise it won't turn on the power for them.

Blowing a fuse removed power from the computer, just like removing the battery cable, and can cause various computers to lock up. The engineers made it so we can have all kinds of problems from simply replacing the battery. That used to be simple, normal maintenance. The place to start is by visiting the dealer to have them connect their scanner to unlock any computers and to program in any new functions.

If you're referring to fog lights, keep in mind a lot of us feel they're rude and obnoxious, and they blind oncoming traffic. If it were up to me, I'd make them illegal except for use in fog.

Holler back with what you find out at the dealer.

Wonderful news. Are the lights you added working?

The fuses you're referring to are in yellow holders. Those are handles, and they're meant to be pulled out if the vehicle will be in storage for more than three weeks. That turns off the "ignition off draw" for the computer memories. Since they are expected to be removed at times, no reprogramming of any computer should be needed and they shouldn't lock up. Very happy it was a simple fix and you found it.

Hello,

You cannot bypass the alarm system. I would do a hard reboot of the system which is easy. Just remove the negative battery cable and hold it to the positive battery cable terminal for 1 minute this will discharge the capacitors and reset the system.

Here is a guide to help you see what I am talking about.

You need the RF chip in the original key and glue it to the new key which will work

Also lock and unlock the rear hatch I have seen that work as well.

Please let us know what happens.

To disable the alarm without the key fob lift the hood and then lock the doors with one window open and disconnect the battery for 30 minutes. Then reconnect the battery and open the door using the key on the drivers side. This will disable the alarm system. Also you can use the key and unlock the rear hatch that will work as well.

It depends if this is a factory or aftermarket system. Try locking and unlocking the truck from either the driver's door or the rear hatch using the key.

It sounds like you have a driver side door latch that is out which has a micro switch which disables the alarm. I would replace it and see what happens.

You can try to manually lock (now "unlocked doors") each door on your car (meaning: open each door, lock each with your fingers).

Then go to the drivers door and unlock it manually with the key, from outside

This supposedly will reset it

Good luck!

If it does not work, don't fret, someone else will be along to correct me!

Does it shut down when you use the correct key? We need to do a hard reboot of the system please follow this guide

Please run down this guide and report back.

Try a reset or another key if you have one not a new key as it will need to be programmed. See our link.
