SOURCE: 2000 ford windstar won't crank over,but pats keys good, and batt.

First thing I would check is to see if you have power at the trigger wire of the starter motor while someone is trying to start the vehicle for you. It will be a Yellow with a light blue trace. If you do then I would check to see if the main battery cable has power to it all the time when someone is trying to crank it. If it does then I would hold a test light on the case of the starter motor and have someone try to crank it. Make sure that the ground you use for this test is on the negative battery terminal not just anywhere on the car. If the test light lights while you are cranking it then you have a bad ground. Hook up a set of jumper cables from the battery negative terminal and clamp it directly on to your starter motor and see if it starts. If you check it and the test light doesn't light up and all the other checks are good then your starter motor has failed. If one of the other tests has failed then you have a starter relay problem or something else. let me know what you find out.

2003 ford mustang gt anti theft light flashing engine will turn over but will not start

From my experience...
A non PATS coded key SHOULD not turn the STARTER...!

If ANTI-THEFT were invoked... you can attain a not start condition which the Owners Manual says must be cleared by the dealer.

A working PATS key should disable the anti theft... by turning the ignition on... ELSE try your other key.

The SecuriLock [PATS]
passive anti-theft system is not compatible with
non-Ford aftermarket remote start systems. Use of these systems may
result in vehicle starting problems and a loss of security protection.

2000 ford mustang thetf light flashing not allowing car to start. Checked all fuses. Alarm relay maybe?

There is a small ring around your ignition cylinder. There are 3 wires that run from it. It is some kind of sensor for the Theft or PATS key. If you use your tilt a lot, it seems to have a "undesirable" effect on the small wires...My Mustang Cobra did this one day. Had a great mechanic friend come over to the house...He just moved the column (tilted it about midway). Cranked right up!!! It still does it occasionaly, but all I have to do is move the tilt.

I lost my keys to my 96' ford taurus if any body could help me with a low price in finding one

If you go to any Ford dealer with a picture ID, and ownership proof (Title), they can cut a duplicate key for your car. A simple one, without a chip on it, will cost you as low as $10. With this key you can unlock the door and get in your car. But there is a small problem. Your car key might have a chip on it.
For the 1999 model year, all Ford Motor Company vehicles equipped with the passive anti theft system will be using the PATS II system. The PATS II system was introduced on roughly half of the PATS equipped vehicles for the 1998 model year. The other half of the PATS equipped vehicles for the 1998 model year were equipped with the PATS I system. Many 2000 and later Ford Vehicles Use the E-PATS system, which uses an encrypted transponder in the key.
The Ford dealer will explain you if you need a simple $10 key, or a chipped one $50 key. If your key has a chip, then you have to reprogram it. Normally the dealer will provide you a written instruction how to do it.

My car has PHEFT flashing on the dashboard...what does it mean???

Im assuming you mean "theft". It blinks when the car is not running and is there as a theft deterrent, like a car alarms blinking LED light. Your car is equipped with Ford's PATS system, which is a fancy way of saying your keys are chipped.

I have a 1998 ford mustang 5 speed. the theft light keeps blinking and it wont start. can you help me

The theft light blinking fast because there is a problem with the PATS ,(passive antitheft system). You either have a bad chip in one of your keys,PATS transceiver on ignition cylinder or computer. If it is a key you would have to have them programmed into system which requires you to have 2 keys and certain diagnostic equipment to program them into sytem. I would take it to your service provider or someone who has the equipment to do this like a ford or lincoln, mercury dealer.Have a good one!
