There could be several reasons why the alarm or anti-theft system on your 2016 Ford F-150 goes off unexpectedly. Some common causes include a malfunctioning door locking mechanism setting off the alarm, a low car battery charge, corroded or rusty battery terminals, or a faulty key fob. To address this issue, start by checking the key fob to ensure it is functioning properly and has a new battery. Next, investigate the battery by examining the terminals and verifying that it is fully charged. If the problem persists, inspect the door locking mechanism as a last resort, as accessing it may require removing the door panel and be more time-consuming. Prioritize troubleshooting the other issues first.
