Can I reset my anti theft device by using one key

My 01 ford ranger will not start. The fuel pump will not come on when the key is turned and the engine will not turn over. Concensus is that it is that anti theft device as it keeps blinking. Can I reset this device by using two key sets? First the original and then the second set into the ignition.

Yeah, put the first key in and let the anti-theft light go completly out (about ten secs), take that key out and do the same with the second key. Take it out and start it with the first key. Maybe this will trick the system , hope this helps.

Question moved to model category.

Presumably, you disconnected the battery when you replaced the fuel pump? Did you reset the anti-theft immobilizer and security system?

2004 Ford Mustang won't turn over.

You say 'won't turn over'. Do you means the engine is not cranking (turning over), or do you mean it cranks but doesn't 'start'? Did you disconnect the battery when you installed the fuel pump.

The flashing anti-theft light may be a clue here.
  1. Insert the key into the driver's side door lock.
  2. Turn the key once, but not all the way to unlock the door. Leave the key in this position for 40-60 seconds. ...
  3. Do this again, but turn the key in the opposite direction.
  4. Remove the key from the door, get into your Ford, and start the engine. The system should be reset.

Car will not start

You probably can't.
If the anti-theft module is in the cluster, you would need the correct key chip for the car the cluster came out of.
You might be able to bypass the passkey system by running a wire to the fuel pump relay and other components.
You may need a shop manual to find the circuits.
