One of your door switches are stuck in the open position, could also be the switch for the rear glass, you need to remove your panels one by one and close the circuits one by one by bridging the contacts with a paper clip until the alarm stop, then you know which switch you would need to replace.

Ok, if the sensor for doors is inside door latch, just sparay some lubricant like wd-40 or something similar to the door latches and keep opening and closing doors until problem fixed

Door ajar alarm is on constantly when dash lights dimmer is on. Turn to off and alarm stops

Your best bet would be to take your vehicle to a qualified repair shop that's good with automotive electrical problems . Checking for DTC'S diagnostic trouble codes would be a good first step . The GEM - generic electronic module is fords BCM - body control module . There is a door ajar switch located in each door , when a door is open the GEM module detects this an turns on the alarm (chime ,bing or what ever noise yours makes ) Also turns on the little car symbol showing a particular door as being open . You could have a GEM module problem , Or you could go to www.bbbind.com/ Find wiring diagrams an try to trouble shoot this yourself. Go on youtube an watch videos on basic electrical trouble shooting , how to read a wiring diagram . Plus check out some repair videos door ajar switch problems !

Car alarm went off reset went off again within 3 min had tomanual lock , dome light on while driving

it sounds like you have a door open that is why the light is on. it may not be a actual open door but a faulty door ajar switch. that would explain why the alarm keeps going off. i would start by opening and shutting all doors includingthe hood and hatch.
if that does not fix it-a gm dealer with a tech 2 scanner should be able to located which door ajar switch is bad.
