Ford Escape Alarm Keeps going off?
My 2007 Ford Escape's alarm system keeps going off randomly. At least once a day when I'm home. I have no idea how often when I'm at work.
I want to lower the sensitivity but the Owners Manual doesn't help someone like me to work on a vehicle.
The first step states "put your system in transmitter learn mode"… It says to look on the previous page but it doesn't list steps for that anywhere…
The second step is "press and release the programming/override button". I HAVE NO IDEA WHERE THAT IS. I was searching everywhere in my vehicle. What does that even look like?
Please help!
Thanks
Added (1). Thanks for your answer on the transmitter learn! And no, the vehicle at random does not say door ajar. The following steps after the first two I'm confused about so explain how to lower the sensitivity so I'm assuming its after market
1. There's no adjustment for "sensitivity" on a ford factory anti-theft system.
2. Check your dash, does your vehicle at random say "door ajar"
3. Door ajar is the most common issue with for Escapes and anti-theft alarm annoyances.
4. If you take it to the dealer, they can scan the PATS and tell you exactly which door sensor or why it is going off.
FYI, transmitter learn means you will wipe out all remotes you have for your vehicle or add a new keyless remote.
- Owner of 2003 ford focus, car keeps needing a jump. Last time I did when the cables came off the car shut off? The car lasted a couple of days the last time I jumped it. I believe It's just my battery but how would I know it has anything to do with my accelerator as well?

I have a ford focus 06 ghia and recently we took to a garage as was really sluggish and found we had water in spark plug casing. We have been told his is a common problem with this model! (wish I had been told about this before I had purchased the car) Has anybody had this problem and how was it rectified? Cheapest option:-( one poorly car at the moment

- CAR ALARM GOES OFF BY ITSELF? So yesterday my husband and I purchased a used 2011 Ford Escape from a pre-owned dealership. It runs well, everything is good but sometimes a the car alarm goes off by itself. We're gonna call our dealership in a bit but does anyone know why this could be happening?
