I believe Forscan will allow you to pair a new PATS module to the ECM, but it's not something I've had a reason to confirm.Yes you could, you would need the PATS module(above glove box) that is already paired(married) to the Computer you got from that same Ranger
Also need at least 1 PATS key for that Ranger and use it to pull out the ignition key cylinder as well, so you can put that in your Ranger so you can Start engine
Your current PATS keys won't be recognized by the new PATS module/Computer pair
If you want to pull the 2 door lock cylinders on the wrecking yard Ranger then you would have matched locks
In Moparland security lockout is a dealer phone call.
Not sure how Ford's security system works though.
If its VIN based then theives must love that Mopar setup
"Hey I just bought this car, need the security code, here is the VIN", lol
I have never used it myself. I have heard rumors it's a little hard to navigate. But it is free and seems to have a lot of power when it comes to Fords.I believe Forscan will allow you to pair a new PATS module to the ECM, but it's not something I've had a reason to confirm.
I've used it to wipe keys out of the system and start over with new ones. Just not to replace a PATS module.I have never used it myself. I have heard rumors it's a little hard to navigate. But it is free and seems to have a lot of power when it comes to Fords.
