Unlocking with key...alarm goes off!

[PaddlePAT]

Left my keyfob in my pocket and it went through the washer. Now the buttons aren't working. I know, I know...stupid.

So I unlocked my truck this morning using the key, only to discover that I had seconds to start the truck or the alarm would go off! What the heck??? I had an armload of stuff that I had to quickly set down on the ground so I could jump in the truck and start it.

Is this normal? Is there a way to keep this from happening?

Thanks.

unlocking a locked and armed vehicle with a key will most certainly set off the alarm. Use the FordPass app to unlock the doors, it will also disarm the security system. Then use your key like its 1985.

Thanks for the advice. Now if I could just get FordPass to work.

I don't have any answers but my alarm goes off sometimes after I unlock by putting my hand in the driver's side handle for proximity unlock and then open the rear door.
