Default Alarm going off for NO REASON!! Help Please!

So my alarm keeps going off randomly in the middle of the night (only once during the day). It went off 4 times last night alone. I'm sure my neighbors are beginning to hate me. The keys are on my night stand so I know the remote buttons are not accidently getting pushed. I have a 2013 Screw XLT. I've only had it 2 1/2 months. Any suggestions..... I need some uninterrupted sleep

Are you parking under or near any high voltage power lines?

No. All the power lines my neighborhood are underground.

I've had my truck 2.5 months and the alarm going off just started this week. Scared the heck out of me the first time thinking someone was trying to steal it.

Mine has done it several times as well. I've had it almost 2 years and it's went off 6 or 7 times that I know of. With no apparent cause either. Not sure what the problem is but it is kind of irritating knowing that there's no reason for it to be going off.

It just went off twice again in the last 20 minutes. In the past 6 days it has gone off at least 11 times.... 6 of those since last night.

I don't think any of mine have ever gone off. I'm no even sure I have an alarm.

What color is it? The white ones have fewer problems, did u tell Ford you were an Aggie when u took delivery? It's possible they programmed it to go off like this to remind you it's ur truck! (Jk)

The only thing I can think of is your truck remotes might be operating on the same frequency as one of your neighbors.

Reprogram the keyless entry key fobs. Sit in the truck all doors closed and both key/fobs in hand, put a key in and cycle the ignition to on/off 8 times ending in run, the door locks cycle, press any button on the first key/fob, the door locks will cycle, press any button on the other key/fob, the locks will cycle, now turn the key to the off position, the locks will cycle again and your done.

My old old 2004 s10 did the same thing for months. Finally I changed the trucks battery because I had a hunch about low voltage and it never happened again. I wonder if your F150 is doing the same.
