If it is the factory system that needs to be reset, unfortunately you will need a Ford IDS, which most large shops have or your local Ford dealer. If it is the aftermarket alarm system that needs resetting, then you need and authorized dealer of that alarm system.
There is a reason, a faulty sensor likely in the door latch, The dealer must scan the system when this happens to confirm the problem and which part is at fault.
If the battery is good then you have a defective door ajar switch, have the dealer keep the car until it can be confirmed that the horn is going off and it is the alarm system, they can scan it and see what the cause is.
Most all alarm systems have various sensors for detecting such things as vibration, heat and or movement around your vehicle and so forth. If these sensors are set to sensitive and or are defective the alarm system will be more of a nuisance than a deterrent. Hope This Helps If this is an OEM type of alarm you might want to contact your dealer for this information. There are 2 sensors which you have to be aware of. One is under the hood and one is in the trunk. Disconnect the trunk sensor and check whether the car will function normal.
IT COULD BE A NUMBER OF REASONS,1-the interior monitoring sensor could be faulty,2-one of the door locks could be faulty,3-the alarm horn or the alarm control unit.suggest having a dealer check for any fault codes,if none they can also check which component was the last thing to set the alarm off using their diagnostic machine...good luck
if you do not want to go back to the dealer then take it to an alarm shop which does private installations on cars and trucks because most of the time when they install after market alarms they bypass them or just pull out the factory alarm altogether.
that is one thing that the dealer only can do the key has a special chip in it to keep from it from starting or go to the dealer with ur title and and ask them for a key to reset the alarm cause it is causeing ur car not to start it's called a pats system
It is a fault with the alarm system, or with the alarm remote. check the battery in the remote (key). If remote is ok, you will have to disconnect alarm to start your car normally. Go to a car electrician , or to a car alarm dealer, or to Ford if the alarm is the original one to fix it or replace the alarm.
