Q: The alarm keeps going on
The truck is garaged and never left outside. Sometimes the alarm will go on out of nowhere. I was told that there was a special scanner called WDS which Ford has. Is there a scanner I could buy that will tell me the code or which door might be engaging the alarm. Since there are 3 Ford trucks at the house, I want to invest in a scanner that will tell me the codes or exactly what is causing the problem. Thanks for the help.
