is it the dealer installed one? if you have a little black box with a flashing led light on the bottom panel below the steering wheel, then its dealer installed. those are added onto the factory keyless system. dealers usually have them put on because their insurance company requires them to have them while on the lot.

if you have one on the lower dash, feel the back of it and see if theres a button back there. if so, turn on your ignition (dont start) then turn it back off and push the button one time...that will usually put the alarm in valet mode and keep it from going off.

or you can lay on your back and look up under the dash and if theres an aftermarket system youll see a bunch of wires t tapped into the factory wires. follow those and youll find the alarm brain. just unplug it or pull all the fuses to it.

if you cant see any of those, you may have an issue with the oem security system and you will need to take it to the dealer to look at. you MOST likely have an a/m dealer installed system.

Might be the door switches. They sometimes will stick and turn on the dome lights at random. WD-40 sprayed in the right places will usually fix it.

Let me know how things go at the dealership, ecoboostkid. If you need any help after your visit to the dealer, PM me your full name, best daytime phone number, VIN, mileage, and servicing dealership. I'll be happy to check out ways to assist.
