15 F250 Evo-all turns ign on when pressing unlock also sets off alarm when rem start

Question

Two problems I'm gathering.  When I press unlock, the ignition turns on about 2-3 seconds and no unlock action. When I press lock, I hear clicking from evo but no lock action.  Also, when rem starting with the truck locked, it sets off the alarm.  Evo-all with FORTIN FOR4 T-harness using linkr LT 2

Answer 1

lock-unlock are controlled by analog connections. Check install guide, test and verify those connections.

Ignition turning on on unlock is normal for all fords since that is how the oem alarm is disarmed.

 

Alarm ringning on remote start means the unit was not programmed correctly or that option D2 is enabled (D2 needs to be off)

 

Note. OEM Ford alarms disarms naturally on remote start since it sees ignition and the immobilizer. As long as the unit is properly programmed, the alarm disarms itself.

Note 2: Some OEM ford alarms are actually not "genuine ford parts" but aftermarket systems installed at ford , sold through Code Alarm. This could also be a reason it is ringing on remote start. There is no way to easily control that alarm.
 

Note 3: To know if you have an real ford alarm, make your oem alarm ring and turn the key on. If the alarm stops ringing when you turn the key on, it is a Ford OEM alarm.
