Secure lock Passive Anti-theft System

6669 · 12-30-2002, 11:46 PM

Someone attempted to steal my Mustang (2000) 3.8L . The ignition switch was jimmied.....thus activating the anti-theft device. Now, with new ignition switch installed, nothing happens!
How do I bypass, or deactivate the theft device?

You can't bypass the PATS (passive anti theft) module cuts out the ignition and fuel and is tied in with the PCM and you have to have a new key programmed at a dealership for it to work again.

There will be a way to remove the "Anti-Theft" feature from my 2001 Mustang. It is giving me more problems than it worth and the dealer doesn't do it for free. Every new module or feature FROM FORD, acts as a rope into your neck pulled by the FORD dealer.
I will try to swap the computer with a one from a pickup truck etc without the Anti-Theft device just to see what happen.
