I'm having a similar problem with my alarm. (97 F150) I have the same key bob that ddgts has. Mine has gone off about 6 times in about 4 weeks. It will go off a few time about 4 to 8 hours and the no problem for a week. I wont even lock the doors and it still does it. I think it was locked only once when the alarm went off. It is a pain at 2:30 AM.
I maybe having a more problems. Last Friday getting ready for work It would not start. Not a dead battery, light were bright but used jumper cable anyway.
When I turned the key, nothing. Turned the key on and off 3 or 4 times real fast and both door locks locked and unlocked 3 or 4 times.
I disconnected the battery and went to work. When I got home Fri. evening and reconnected the battery, it starts like nothing was wrong.
Had the alarm go off yesterday, Sunday while I was mowing the lawn, (truck was unlocked again).
The wife said she does want to ride in it anymore and thinks it maybe possessed.
I will look to see if I have the same alarm box that was pictured before tonight.

Thanks Ohio,
Alarm has not went off since Sunday, 3 days so far.
Yesterday when I started the truck to come to work and the Brake and ABS lights on the dash were on.
Stayed on all the way to work. I figured that I would check it out after work.
When I left to go home, started the truck and the light were off.
Today all is good.
I may have a gremlin, I'm going to try to keep it happy. Maybe a wash an wax this weekend.
