Hi guys,

During the last two weeks, I've had a big issue with the factory alarm on my '13 Scab going off randomly, with horn and lights waking up the whole neighborhood...Already 4 or 5 times this happened in the middle of the night. Let's just say it's VERY embarassing...

I was wondering if there a way to disable that fu***** thing and if anybody ever had this issue ? Saw someone on FRF speaking of the hood pin, gonna check it ASAP...

here, on frf
ford has also had the reputation of bad door lock mechanisms. its the complete latch and trigger assembly in the door. they have been faulty for years.

Try locking it with the keypad at night. Another thread on here said the alarm doesn't sound when locked with keypad.

Thx for the tips, gonna try it...

After digging on FRF on this issue, I think this may come from that "Hood pin" and needs to investigate this way, but two weeks ago I dropped the truck to a local shop to install a LPG system on my raptor so I guess they worked a lot under the hood and may have bent that pin, causing that weird issue...

Anybody has a pic of that pin so i know where to look at ?
