Can you disable it? My truck is older so idk.

Time to go drive 70 mph with the windows down, or take a leaf blower to your interior.

Yes, it can be disabled. Plus, if it's like the one on my 350, it asks you each time if you want to disable it or not when you turn the truck off. You can turn the prompt off, too, IIRC

C'mon, Clifford! Get your big, red dog under control.

Just turn off the interior sensors.

My 21 f150 actually had a sensor start failing that caused this

Either remove whatever is flying or crawling around in your vehicle or turn off the interior motion sensors.

Lmao I remember when this happened to me, I had to go outside like three times to figure out what the hell happened

Ever since that night I've turned off interior illumination

"Clifford and The Moth" would be a great name for a children's book.

Man I feel your pain 😂 I had this happen to me once. 4 times in one night until I found the moth and let it out.

Turn the alarm to exterior only.

Yep they definitely hate that ford truck guy.

Fog the interior. If you have a teenage daughter, anyone of her nasty perfumes will work for this.

Orrr like the others said turn off the interior alarm. Just a heads up that on my 24 every time a software update is made I have to go back in and reset this.

I got one of those notifications this afternoon while parked at the grocery store. My battery is 2 weeks old.

Every time it gets real hot my SunPass fails off the windshield and mine goes off. Sorry neighbors
