Is this the factory alarm or aftermarket?

What happens when other remote buttons are pressed?
Do you have more then one key/remote?

So previously the alarm button was the only one that worked on either key and now none of the buttons on either key works.
I would probably start with looking for a blown fuse for the alarm system.
Does your TPMS still work, F150s used the same antenna for remotes and TPMS.

Default Tpms

The TPMS seems to be fine, I’m thinking now it might be antenna problem, daughter also accidentally pulled out wire for dash cam, maybe it did something to wire for antenna can’t find much info on where antenna is located, but sounds like it might be above windshield, still investigating

Default Follow up

So checked wiring for antenna , it seemed ok, so as my final act of Desperation, I disconnected truck battery and then turned ignition to on position and left it for 5 minutes, reconnected battery and remotes worked again, it’s almost like computer had locked them out, even reprogramming would not help, not sure why, Thxs for help Scott
