Any suggestions?

Did you installed the cut-out well???
If it works it should cut the battery... so, no more electricity... and no more alarm.

I replugged the battery a few time after long disconnection , yesterday after 3 weeks for example, and never had the alarm screaming.

This Pedestrian Protection issue is probably related to a faulty sensor behind the nose cone.
when they start to go it can be dependent on temp. My was
Plenty of posts on this on the UK forum.
I don’t think this system is on the US models.
A down load of fault codes will show if this is the case.
They are around £140 each and there are 2 fitted.
There is a small sounder fitted under the bonnet catch drivers side (UK)
I have read that if this goes faulty then it can drain the battery. You can unplug it to check.
Its a Ford item the same as a Fiesta.
Could be disabled in the UK. It’s used when locking the car and you get a beep. Mine is programmed not to.
I changed mine when it started to sound occasionally like a Geiger counter.

The proper approach should be to attach an meter that measures electrical flow. Electricians have one where a loose C is placed around a battery cable to measure outflow. Then its a matter of methodically removing/replacing a fuse at a time, to get the flow to drop. When it does, you have the guilty unit.

Do i have to go to specialist for (disable )programming or it can be done by myself?

Will there be any warning light on dash if sounder cable under bonnet catch drivers side is removed as suggested earlier?
