Intrusion Alert

So had my alarm triggered the other morning at about 4am.
My FordPass app listed as "Alarm Triggered" and has detected vehicle intrusion and triggered the alarm.
No sign's of any issues and i live in the country.

This is the second time this has happened and first time was about 2 months ago.

Anyone experiencing random triggers and what does it take to actually trigger the intrusion alert aside from someone actually breaking glass and manually unlocking it?

Are your interior sensors turned on?

More than likely there’s a bug or insect flying around inside and the interior sensor picked up the movement.

There should be a big warning label on the screen every time you shut the truck off, not just a message asking if you want the interior sensors on or not.
I just turned my interior sensors off permanently.

Alarm

Same thing happened on mine at 03:00, defiantly makes you jump out of bed. It wasn't a bug like others are claiming, it was well below zero at the time. Turned out to be a glitch in the alarm system and ford is well aware.

A lot of owners have tried that only to find it reset to "All Sensors" the next time. That's why some have gone as far as actually disconnecting the interior sensors.

Yours stays set to Perimeter only?

My alarm was going off randomly. Getting worse.
Dealer had it checked out after my bad rear axle repaired.
Console intrusion sensor bad. Replacing tomorrow.
