I need to know how to manually arm the truck. At the moment whenever the truck is disarmed, every fifteen seconds or so (when it is not running) the truck will arm itself following two chirps. Doors do not lock either. I just want to know if I can switch this option to manual so it does not arm itself. Thank you.

Hello,

There is no manual switch that you can turn off unfortunately. I would disconnect the battery (negative side) and then hold then negative cable onto the positive side of the battery which will discharge the capacitors and force the system to hard reboot. This should fix the problem.

This guide can help as well.
