headlights lights flash when door is shut?
So i pull up like a badass into my parking spot.
I open the door and get out.
lock my truck using the button in the drivers door, then shut the door.
then
a fraction of a second after i close my door the headlights flash on then back off real quick.
alright, so i noticed my truck doing this a while ago. i had assumed it was the alarm that was installed.
i pulled the alarm out and it still happens.
whats the deal? is this something normal or do i have another alarm system of something hidden somewhere? my truck has electrical issues and just want to make sure this is supposed to be happening
ive asked everyone i know with rangers and no one else has noticed this
oh an my truck is a 2002

it doesnt matter. if you lock the doors with the door switch before you shut the door it flashes the marker lights to telll you the door is locked. if you had keyless entry it would do the same if you locked it with the key fob. also if locked with a key fob if you hit the lock two times quikly it will also honk the horn. its not an alarm system, just an indication or reminder that your doors are locked. im not sure what model years do it but you are describing exactly that.
