this will sound odd, but I was having the same issue, and I tried everything on this forum but I wasn't getting anywhere, but I decided to check all my fuses under the dash and found out on my 2010 Ford E350 fuse #54 fuel pump relay coil, was blown, I replaced it and the van started right up, I was having all the issues of a PAT system failure, dash lights on, security light blinking, and advance track service light on.

Hi Missy , There are a number of thing's that can cause this . Fuel system problems , ignition system problems , the PCM - powertrain control module , the PCM is the engine computer ! There are multiple sensors on this vehicle as with all cars for the 80's on . From 1996 on they have more electronic modules then before , Anti-theft systems , air bags, anti - lock brakes etc.
Does you car have any lights light on the dash ? check engine ? Security ?. When you first turn on your key the dash lights light up an after 7 seconds the lights should go out , Do they ? You should check for DTC's - diagnostic trouble codes . That means hooking your car up to a scan tool . If it starts an shuts back off right away I would think a anti-theft system problem . If the anti-theft thinks it being stolen it disables the fuel injection in some cases !
the way i reset the antitheft is to put the key in the ignition and turn it on till all the dash lights come on but dont start it let it sit 15 minutes turn the key off and turn it on again till all the lights come on again repeat this procedure three times after the third time turn the key off for about 5 seconds and then your car should start hope this helps.
If code 53 involves the PASS system for your car, the chip in the key has failed, or the sensor in the lock cylinder, or the control module. The anti-theft system disables the starter and the fuel injectors. You could bypass those circuits to get the car started.
Ford PATS doesn't have a reset like GM. First try a different key and disconnect all electronic devices in the car like phone charger, GPS, dash cam, etc. If that doesn't work, you'll have to get the trouble codes read
