As none of the X's so far have a switch for doing this, I would assume it's something the previous owner did to the truck. I'm not really getting the resoning for doing this, valet switches are used to lock the trunk so valet's can't get in it, not to turn the alarm on/off. Why would you not want the alarm on if it's being valet parked?



My question here is, IS the switch an aftemarket addition? If it is, and at this point I think reason would say that it is, what is it for? You mention that you "have reason to believe" it's for turning the alarm on/off for "valet parking", but you you haven't said that you traced it to see where it actually goes. IF it's NOT for the alarm, it could be for something entirely different, which COULD explain why your new fobs were programmable.

So, what is this switch on the door actually for? Where does it go? What is it actually connected to?

Also, does your truck even have an alarm? I think there were some that didn't. If it's an SE, it would have, but I think some of the XE's didn't. They had fobs for locking/unlocking the doors, but not an alarm. Yours may fall into that catagory as you've established in other threads that you don't have an SE. I.E., you may not HAVE an alarm.
