Alarm going off

I have a 2017 f350 xlt. The alarm has randomly gone off a few times in the middle of the night. Last Friday I can out of the store unlocked the truck with FOB and the alarm went off. Last night the alarm went off twice. As far as I know I don’t have the perimeter alarm. Any one else run into this problem?

I had something similar on a different vehicle years ago and it turned out to be a tree frog living inside the cab and hiding under the dash and setting off the alarm when he came out. It took me a while to figure it out and then catch him. Large enough insects can set off the interior sensors. On my current truck the dealer oil change decal fell from the windshield and set the alarm off.

My truck did the same thing. It turned out to be a moth flying around that set it off.

I can't help with the OP's issue, but take note that if you get out of the truck to grab a coffee and lock your dog in it, you should make sure only the perimeter alarm is set and not all sensors... ask me how I know!

Doesn't the Ford Pass app indicate what triggered the alarm?

My hood switch has caused a few random alarms, as well as a dash warning light. I have to get it looked at next service.
