Theft racovery System,
 
Is there anyway, ( easy ) to defeat the Theft Recovery system? I think mine is going bad and messing with the car, ( shutting it off ). Can you just unplug the thing or something to that effect?

The 98's theft system is a ***** that is integrated into the computer. I have heard of some folks being able to turn it "off" via an aftermarket chip, but most companies don't like to do it and from what I hear, can lead to other problems.

Try contacting www.JMSchip.com by phone.

But if you are TRULY having theft system problems, its probably computer replacement time....:(

I would contact your local Ford Techs and see what they have to say.

Did you get your codes pulled?

No, have not pulled codes yet. Can they be pulled if no "check engine" light is on? I may just try a new computer, If it's not the problem at least I'll have one in stock!
