Factory alarm going off randomly?

[rojo212]

Has anyone had a problem with the horn going off in the middle of the day or night on its own. My has been doing it almost every day once sometimes twice for the last week.. I have no idea what could be causing this. I scheduled an appointment with the dealer but they can't get me in till next week, I was hoping it was something simple that I could fix so I don't have to hear it till then..

first thing that comes to mind is the ford door pin issue from the past. are your cargo lights or interior lights on when this happens?

Yeah the lights go off after a few seconds when the door is closed. They go off right away whenn I lock it with the fob.

Wow, that sounds frustrating, rojo212. What's your truck's model year/mileage? I'll see what I can do to help.

I found a thread on the ecoboost forum talking about the hood pin going out of adjustment. Im going to make sure its getting good contact when I get home.
