I hate the alarm button on the fob. I have accidentally pushed it several times. I want to disable it. Anyone know if that is possible??

I also hate the double horn beep when I leave the engine running and take the keys with me. I often hop into my vehicle and remember I left something inside. I want to leave the vehicle running while I run back into get it. I need my keys so I can unlock and re-lock my house door. I want to disable this feature if it is possible.

Absolutely the button layout could use a refresh. But my keys are on the desk and key fob activation wont log the alarm activation in the app.

Mine was the hood latch - replaced by Ford and no unwarranted alarms since.

My alarm (horn sounding/lights flashing) on my F150 kept going off the other night. I could get it to stop, but after a few minutes, it would activate again. Tried new batteries in key fob, disconnected vehicle battery-waited 15 minutes and then reconnected…it still would go off. Then I noticed a huge mosquito was inside the cab. The interior lights were the magnet. After getting the mosquito out, the alarm quit sounding. There are motion sensors in the overhead and it was picking up the dang mosquito! I could have also disabled all alarms and just gone with the perimeter alarm had I not been able to get the mosquito out. SMH…well, at least I know the alarm works with interior movement.
On a side note, my 60 year old buddy decided he was going to the back seat of his F150 for a little hanky panky with his girlfriend. He thought it best to lock the doors. Well guess what happened? Just as things were getting hot and heavy, his car alarm goes off signaling to the world…”look at me, look at me!”

Mosquito or even a fly? A probability perhaps! They seem to happen near the same time though from 10-11 am
Could be a CTE issue in the latch or sensor
