Recently purchased 2024 Ranger Raptor and when you get out of truck and walk away the doors lock and horn sounds. There is no option in settings to change this and seems to have been enabled by Forscan as a walk away lock feature. Does anyone know how to disable this? There is no (non as built) configuration option for it in the BCM and I can’t figure out what codes it would be in as-built data. I see there is a setting for it in the APIM (non as built) configuration but those are both disabled. Any help would be appreciated as this is very annoying having my truck honk in the garage everyday and then be locked when I want it to remain unlocked

Interesting problem. Didn't know they could do that. Keeping an eye on this thread. So you think the previous owner enabled it?

In-between atm
If it wasn't a raptor, I'd think someone hooked up an aftermarket keyless entry since they all are made that way. Is it possible that some did this anyway?

I had that thought as well and have looked all over the truck and have not found any aftermarket wiring or control boxes, also am using the OEM key fob

I've seen many cases where the config for the toggle switches to certain options including WAL gets wiped for whatever reason. Assuming this is the case with your truck, you would need FORScan to either a) enable the toggle switches in the touchscreen that allow you to turn the feature on/off or b) permanently disable the feature.

I turned that feature off on my 24 RR. It was in the options in the display.

Do you still have the toggle switch for it in the screen? If so can you post a picture of it?

It has been 2 1/2 years, I do not remember. But I will look tomorrow!

I figured it out. I compared BCM as built data from Ford on multiple Ranger Raptor VINs and they were all identical to mine. Then I compared the as built data for my truck from FORD to what forscan showed. Found that at the very end there were two more lines of code that don’t exist on Ford’s as built data! I have no clue how someone added lines of coding. I changed the numbers to all zeros and the truck no longer locks or honks when walking away
