Barb, a locksmith can do it cheap.

Are you missing anything else? Engine cranking do you have spark at the spark plugs? Do you have a fuel injector pulse? If your missing all three, check for an rpm signal.
Make sure battery has a full charge and battery connections all good.
I don't understand, what is a "shout switch"? You do have an inertia switch in the fuel pump circuit. Note the wiring diagram.
There is a fuel pump cutoff reset button (and a relay) it is located under the instrument panel at the right (passenger) hand cowl side "kick" side panel, press the button and when you hear a click it is reset.
Umm.. it could be a crankshaft sensor at fault.
You say that you are getting no fuel - but are you 100% positive? The easiest way to check is by disconnecting the fuel line where it enters the engine bay and switching the ignition on. Fuel should literally spray out of the line.
A fuel pump only supply fuel on demand - it is not running constantly. If you switch the ignition on you may hear the fuel pump kick in and then stop. That's because when the engine isn't running the pump cuts out. Switch the ignition on. Can you hear the pump kick in and then cut out?
A faulty crankshaft sensor can cause the problems you describe and to be quite honest, it's difficult to see a connection between no spark and no fuel. I'm loathe to suggest a faulty ignition module.
Rather than waste time and money replacing parts in the hope of curing the problem, can you get somebody to do a diagnostic check with an OBD? There may be a fault code - an error code - that will point you in the right direction
there is a inertia/ emergency fuel shutoff switch under the carpet on the passenger side closest to the front by the fire wall. At least my 1996 has one there. this is a push button and if it is popped up then simply press it in. this should turn the fuel pump back on. I hope this helps
Is there B+ ( power) , voltage to these components, fuel pump ,coils ? B+ voltage to PCM ? Do you know how to test automotive electrical circuits ? Go to you tube an check out basic automotive electrical trouble shooting videos , how to read a wiring diagram .Go to http://www.bbbind.com/free_tsb.html free wiring diagrams . click on electrical distribution under system , then under subsystem power distribution. . Check through diagrams to see where these components get battery voltage , an grounds . Could have a bad power relay. See if they have anything in common . Do you have a DVOM - digital volt ohm meter ? There are videos on how to use one on you tube . Your going to have to test to find out what the problem is . Good luck an happy hunting .
It actually could be a grounding issue. You could just experiment and run a ground wire from one of the mounting bolts of the wiper motor and run to a grounding strap attatched to the firewall. See what happens next time it rains.
Could be dirty or burned dipswitch contacts. If the driver smokes this is not uncommon.
I suggest exposing the multiplug to the dipswitch and bridging the terminals as required to bypass the switch.
As long as that was the original radio installed in this vehicle the code can be retrieved by the dealer for a fee. Take registration and proper Id to dealer and they will be able to get your code back for you. Godd Luck

P1260 indicates that the Passive Anti Theft system (PATS) detected a
"theft condition". This basically means an incorrect signal, or no
signal at all was received from the chipped key. Brief overview: your
ignition key has a chip in it called a transponder that is read by the
PATS transceiver (mounted around the ignition cylinder housing behind
the column shroud). The signal is then sent to the PATS control module,
which communicates with the Powertrain Control Module (PCM) and enables
the vehicle to start. Sorry for all the acronyms! When an incorrect
signal is received, the PATS module then sends this message to the PCM
which triggers the P1260 trouble code, resulting in a no start
condition.
Possible causes are: an incorrect key being used, faulty key
chip (transponder), wiring concerns between the transceiver module and
PATS module, the transceiver module itself or internal PATS or PCM
module concerns. The first thing to do in this instance is retrieve
codes from the PATS module and diagnose these. Once the PATS issues have
been resolved you can reset the P1260. Communication with the PATS
module will likely need to be done at a Ford dealer. A few things to
check first: make sure the correct key is being used, and if you have a
second key, try that one as well. If one key starts it but not the
other, you may have a faulty key. If both keys do not work, then it is
not likely a key problem.
Honestly, we see very few problems with the
keys themselves. Make sure no one has tampered with the steering column
shroud as the transceiver module located behind it is fairly fragile.
Lastly check for an aftermarket remote start system. These are a common
cause of no start problems with PATS equipped vehicles. Some installers
will remove the chip from your key and tape it to the column (under the
shroud). This basically bypasses the system and allows it to be started
without a chipped key. The problem is that the transponder removed from
the key is not designed to be used in this way and can fail due to
extreme temperature changes and, depending on mounting condition,
excessive vibration and shock. Other installers use a "key box"
installed under the dash, and these have been known to cause issues as
well. If you suspect the concern to be related to a remote start it may
not be a bad idea to have it checked or removed to complete diagnosis.

hope this information has been helpful (remember to rate this).
If they work fine after doing this, it is time for an ignition switch. If you have to play with the window switch. Replace it.. Either way. Take them apart. Bad contacts are the problem. I have fixed to many with a bit of sand paper or some solder. They are already broke, how much more are you going to break them. You just might fix them. Only cost you a bit of time. Or buy the part.
