This could be the key, the key receiver, the instrument panel(which has the security chip in it) or the PCM(power train control module). Your going to have to have it scanned to see where the problem might be. You might as well get it to a dealer, as most shops will charge you and then tell you it has to go to the dealer...Ford security is a pain.

My 2002,ford focus se 5 SPD won't start at all no sound when key is turned. When key is in start position no dash lights come on and my anti theft light above hazards blinks continuously any ideas?

Verify battery condition by turning on headlights and seeing if they are bright. If ok, the theft system may be activated. Try locking and unlocking doors with the key fob. This will usually reset the theft deterent system.
