    The problem turned out to be with my battery. Once I installed the new one, it reset my anti theft device. Thanks for the information, anyway.

    yes i have a 98 ed bauer expedition it started along time ago you would start the car and it would act like it was possesed the interior light would stay on for a feww minutes and then shut off on its own,,the child lock on the rt side back seat locks itself youll be driving and the locks will go off and on ,, the seatbelt etc lights in dash go on and off and it will beep this only happens maybe once every 3 or 4 wks but the problem that started several months back that i need help with coincidently after we had a new engine installed is that the i go to start it and the theft light comes on stays on not blinks and the truck clicks but wont start it thinks it getting stolen i just keep pushing lock and unlock in and out of the ignition tryying to get it reset i guess and then it finally starts but yesterday it took 25min to start and i couldnt even get it started today so i dont know if i can disconnect it or if its connected to an electrical problem associated with the other issues ,, or is it in the ignition,,, because if its easier i would like to disarm the theft prot permanently thanks

I have a 2003 expedition.about a month ago it quit goin down the road and we put a fuel pump and a cam sensor in it and it ran .yesterday it quit again I put another new pump and can sensor but it won’t...

Ford's PATS anti-theft system disables the starter from spinning the engine . Flashing real fast while trying to start the vehicle means the vehicle see's wrong key code ,think's the vehicle is being stolen . Code's stored in the computer , FORD dealer , nothing you can or should do .

Sounds like anti-theft system problem ! There is a little red light center top of dash pad , When you try to start the vehicle does the light flash fast ? If the vehicle thinks it's being stolen it won't let truck crank over an it turns off the fuel injectors !

Theft light blinking and car wont turn over

Your theft deterrent system is activated. Did you have a key made?

2003 f150 turns over but wont crank, also theft light blinking fast

Usually means the sensor in the lock cylinder is not reading the code in the key.
If the pass key system does not get the right signal from the key the truck will not start.
You might try taking the key off your ring - put it in the lock and turn the switch on - but don't crank it for at least a minute.
There are procedures to reset the anti-theft online - - if you do a search for resetting anti-theft F150 you can read them.

My theft light is flashing but my 1997 expedition wont start.The vehicle turns over but just don't start.

ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM Passive anti-theft system
Your ignition key has a unique imbedded transponder which engages engine electronics and allows the vehicle to be started. Without the use of your special ignition key, the vehicle will not start.

During each vehicle start, the coded key is read by the anti-theft system. If the key’s ID code matches the code in the anti-theft system, the vehicle is enabled to start.

Anti-theft system
Briefly illuminates when the ignition is turned to the ON position to verify that the passive anti-theft system is operating properly.

Also, its possisble that tou have actovated the fuel pump switch.

CHeck it.

1998 ford expedition wont start. theft like is

If you are reseting a factory alarm...lock and unlock the drivers door with the key. If you don't know the code look under the dash driver side in left corner there should be a black cover with a sticker with a code on it 6 numbers that is the factory code.
