false alarms

I have a 2007 F-150 FX2 and as of 8-10 months ago I started having the security alarm go off for no reason. I thought maybe I sat on the fob or something stupid but it is getting to be more often. The truck sat at the dealership for 2 days last week and nothing. They decided after lightly bumping the grille and it went off the sensitivity was too low so adjusted that up to a reasonable bump required. Well it went off last night at 1:30 AM, so I don't know what to do now.
The service writer did say he had seen this and it was always a door sensor but having 4 doors which one??
Any and all help is appreciated.

After much research I have found out there are 2 sensitivity setting and the dealer only messed with 1 (Lite-touch) and the second called Full Scock. I plan to adjust the second this weekend and maybe, just maybe that will take care of my false alarms. Thanks for all of the help and many replys.<O</O
