Switches Inhibit

Is there a way to disable " security mode switches Inhibit" on my 2019 F250. its not referenced in the owners manual AND the Vehicle settings on the F250 doesn't mention it. Some Ford models let you turn it off. Is there another way to disable this? I put an aftermarket push button door code unlock on and this security mode won't let this work after 20 seconds.

Switches inhibit mode



This is the security issue on newer Fords. Locks the switches and buttons after 20 seconds .

I’m not familiar with this security feature.

The gauges suggest the truck is a 6.2 gasser with XL or XLT trim. Tell us more about your truck configuration and options.

2019 XL 6 2 gasser ext cab long box. Trying to find out if you can disable the switches inhibit mode with a scan tool.. most higher end Fords have the menu setting you can switch on and off. Not this one. So I'm hoping it's an option for a scan tool.

Forscan and disable security mode, however, that’s going to cause other issues? I no security at all. Another way is when shutting off the truck, set it to ask security settings, you can disable motion sensor for pets, for example, you can disable alarm entirely for when you want to todo the door pads.

maybe also research if with Forscan you can change settings to recognize the door key pad? This should allow all security but if you enter door keypad code it won’t trigger the alarm.
