Cranking checklist

No obvious code in blinking lock lite

Hi,
I video taped my startup attempt and replayed it slowly.
No obvious code.

What do I do?
Sincerely,

Is there a flashing light when you turn on the key????

 

[magrasjc]

Yes the flashing car/padlock. Is what's in the picture at the top of this page. Orinal Ford key I believe.

A mobile Locksmith with Ford software can usually reset system and add new PATS(passive anti-theft system) keys if needed

Otherwise it will need to be towed to a Ford Dealer

Nothing more you can do, there is no "by-pass" for this system, if there was it wouldn't be much of an anti-theft system


If there is no "Code" flashes after a minute or so then system is probably working OK but wrong key is being used, or PATS thinks it is the wrong key, doesn't matter if "it worked before" only matters that it doesn't work now

Post #13 has the codes PATS Light will flash and what they mean, 2nd column
You should get a code, just have to wait a minute or two with key on
