So my dealer adds a temporary alarm to all vehicles it sells. I was informed that it just plugs in and there are no cut wires whatsoever and it can be completely removed without any adverse effect. I asked very specifically about this.
Turns out not to be true. They tapped into the wiring harness with several T-taps. Concerned this will certainly eventually fail in a Raptor when used as intended. Removing it won't solve the problem, the wires have been cut into by the T-taps and may be compromised.
Similar device caused my 2011 to no-start. That was a different dealer, who never even told me it was left in there.
There's a part of me that thinks the only way to properly fix this is to replace the whole !@#!@ harness.
