Question
i lost the key pad to my 2009 ford f-150 i have the keys and every time i try to start the truck the alarm goes off.. is there any way i can disarm the alarm so that i can start the truck???

Answer
There are 3 possible alarm systems in this truck.
If it's after market, there would be an override switch installed.
See past postings for "valet override" in the search bar
at www.CARPROTECTOR.com

The 2nd possiblity is the factory keyless and noise generating,
headlight flashing system. Without the keypad, there is
only putting the key in the drivers door, turn far left
to disarm and far right to unlock and drive away.

You NEED the key fob remotes to control the system as there
is no override for this one.

Lastly this truck has the PATS fuel rail immobilizer and if this
is engaged, Ford would need to reset it.

Hopefully, it's the first option as the last 2 are difficult to
and can be pricey for you to fix.

Good luck.
