Hi, I'm new to ford trucks, just got an F-150 2011 model. This weekend I spent some time playing with the nav system and learning the truck while camping. When the door is open, there is a constant beep/tone going on which is really annoying. Can this be turned off using a programmer of some type?

 

Pull the key out if the ignition.....

Read your owners manual....there might be a disable sequence.....

Edit......

After further research into your question I've found this out......

It involves cutting a wire in your steering column.......

 

I've read somewhere here I think that you can cut a wire under the steering wheel but it also disengages the auto unlock so if you lock your doors and have the keys inside it will lock them inside but not a issue if you have the key pad on the outside

 

Find the beeper and disable it...

 

I just close the door (and roll the windows down if it's hot).

That doesn't work for tailgating too well.

I fixed it by using a screwdriver to close the door latch while it was open. It tricks the truck into thinking the door is actually closed. Just dont forget that you did that because you won't be able to close your door without opening it up again.

 

That would make a good CLUNK if someone forgot......

 

Why not get a small micro sized switch at Radio Shack that mounts in a 1/4 or 5/16 hole, solder two leads to it, isulate with that brush on insulating paint and then locate that wire y'all speak of, snip it, pull the ends a little so you can strip them, solder splice the two leads from your switch to them and apply some 3M Super 33 tape and drill the hole to mount the switch in a place easily reached yet which is not in the way or likely to be hit accidentaly.

Switch in "ON" or "CLOSED" poistion, everything works as designed.
Switch in "OFF" or "OPEN" position, no buzzer and make sure you have a key or know the entry code.

Or locate the buzzer itself and apply the same switch to one of the leads to the buzzer instead, likely easier to reach.
