my keyless entry number pad sets off my alarm every time I try to unlock my truck with my code I have an 04 Fx4 does it happen to all the trucks or did the dealer **** up my alarm

 

Mine does not set it off so I'd take it into the dealer.

 

Wow that sucks compa my doesn't set off the alarm either. It just disactivates the alarm and opens the door. I'd take back for an 05 KR

 

Any luck with your alarm problem? Did you take it back to the dealer and if so what did they say, did they fix the problem?

 

Do you have an aftermarket alarm? or is the Ford factory one?

I know with my Viper/Clifford if you start pushing buttons and the Viper alarm is activated, the alarm will go off. However it'll still let you in the truck in case you locked your keys in there. Its kind of a nice feature if you ask me!

 

Well it was purchased from ford but it doesn't use the ford factory key fob. Is there any thing I could. I know it opens the door but the alarm going off is just anoying.

 

Well why don't you use the FOB?

 

Some times you don't have your keys with you and need something from the truck. That's why they put a keyless entry! I think maybe they mixed up some of your wire's.

 

No he said its aftermarket and I don't think there is a way around it. So live with it.

 

Aftermarket alarms are supposed to sound anytime a door is opened. How does the alarm know if a door is opened or not?..it monitors the dome light. It just so happens that pressing the keypad buttons also illuminates the dome light, so the alarm thinks that a door has been opened.

You could fix it by disconnecting the dome light trigger wire on the alarm, but then the alarm will not go off if the door is opened. At this point, you would be defeating the purpose of having the alarm in the first place. There are probably other ways to fix it by adding diodes and other crap, but if you knew how to do that you'd probably have done that by now. My suggestion would be to not be lazy and grab your alarm remote and use that to unlock your truck, or be content with the horn/siren blazing.

 

I'm going to get the CodeAlarm A670, They make the alarms for ford, but the A670 is a 2-way, and has inputs to use the factory keypad. And there are other alarms out there that have the ability to be disarmed via input wires. Making them less secure then most. At the same time, if the theif is in you car and getting to those wires, doesn't matter what alarm you have.

 

I got my alarm at the ford dealer, but they said they need to rewire it so im going to take it back and have it rewired

 

You don't need to open the door, I just press one button and the alarm goes off. any more idea's

 

My brother also has an alarm that was put on by a ford dealer, but he's also has an after market looking key fob. THe only differnce is that he's keyless entry does disactivate he's alarm.

 

No. Our trucks have negative door pins, which means the alarm is hooked up to those and not the dome light.
