Default Shock Sensor Alarm

I have an '13 F150 that was purchased with a shock sensor connected to the factory alarm. Does anyone know where the sensitivity setting is for this alarm?

Thanks

Should be mounted to the drivers side vent tube. Open the door and remove the access panel on the side of the dash. Will be a black box mounted with zip ties. Little white **** adjusts the sensitivity

Thanks. Tried that but no module in that location. I'll contact the installing dealer.

That's strange. Look under the dash. The backside of the obdII port should have another connector that it's plugged into, probably zip tied to it. If so, follow it up to the vss (black box). Shouldn't be more than a foot away. They could've mounted it to somewhere else. Seen that happen a few times

Yup, found the black box, now to figure where to make the adjustment. I was expecting a white **** somewhere.

Sorry it's not a white ****. It's the black one but has the white markings in a half moon shape around it. I just looked at mine last night.

No *****, or half moon shape. Just flat on top.

The sensitivity **** is towards the upper left side





Right there by the zip tie

Hopefully that helps
