How to disable the alarm?

[Finkerton]

I've set it off multiple times due to PaaK issues (my wife has the fob) and I really just don't want it at all. I can't figure out how to turn it off entirely.

If you’re talking about turning off your interior motion sensors, you can’t. It reverts back to On every time you restart the car. It’s a software bug. I reported it over two months ago and so far Ford hasn’t even officially acknowledged the problem.

No, I'm talking about the alarm, period. Not just which sensors are used. I just don't want it to go off, ever.

I've read the manual. In there they only talk about how to disarm it once it's armed, or how to change the set of sensors used. It doesn't say how to disable it altogether.

I pulled BCM fuse 20 which has an interesting effect: it doesn't disable the alarm, but instead of using the specific alarm horn, it now uses the normal horn. It's at least sightly quieter.
