SEE THE STEPS WITH CAREFULLY AND COMMON SENSE:God bless you
Press the unlock button on your vehicle's key fob to deactivate the alarm. If you've misplaced your remote for the car, use the PATS programmed key to unlock the driver's side door. Then, put the key in the ignition and turn the key to the "on" position. The vehicle's battery should be on, but the engine shouldn't be running.


  • 2 Locate the override button on the alarm box, beneath the driver's side of the dashboard. Press the button and hold it in until the alarm beeps one time. The LED light for the alarm should stop blinking, indicating the anti-theft system is disabled.

  • 3 To reset the vehicle's alarm, put the PATS programmed key in the ignition and turn the key to the "on" position. Press the override button. When the alarm resets, it chirps two times and the LED light begins blinking.

      There is no magic button on my anti-theft box. It is just the plain anti theft that comes on each vehicle. There is no alarm speaker and shock sensors and all the bells and whistles that come with a Ford addon anti-theft system. So, now that that is out of the way, how do you reset/fix a standard lockout system on the car?

    Usually with the key fob or by locking and unlocking the drivers door with the key.

    If you can turn the ignition and all of the dash lights turn on , you can simply hook up a push button for the starter and run a power wire from the radio power directly to the fuel pump. It's that simple.

    Either you may be using a key that you had copied from the original or your chip went bad in your original key. Most of cars now a days have the key censor in the key so if it is the incorrect key it will not start your car or if it does not read that chip it will not start

    Keep in mind that, when the security light has been iluminated while driving, there may be a trouble code stored in the computer. You need to take the car to the dealer or find an automotive locksmith that has a T-Code, or Code Seeker scanner to attempt to pull out the error code telling you what is wrong.

    Also, FORD TAURUS 2003 car safety problem was reported on July 01, 2007.FORD TAURUS 2003, manufactured by FORD MOTOR COMPANY had a problem with ELECTRICAL SYSTEM: IGNITION:ANTI-THEFT CONTROLLER. ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM FAILING, CAUSING VEHICLE TO SHUT OFF WHILE DRIVING.

    About this, I suggtes visit your dealer to know if any Service Bulletin could solve your problem.

    Keep us updated.

    2001 Ford Taurus flashed theft light while driving and stalls. It does that intermittently. Starts fine.

    IT WILL HAVE EITHER PASSIVE ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM (PATS) MODULE OR REMOTE ANTI-THEFT PERSONALITY (RAP) MODULE . REPLACE THE MODULE.
