Once the theft deterrent thinks the security has been breached, it will not allow the car to be started.
You might need to have the dealer re-program processor.
Hope this helps.

Ford have red tags on the key fob which is required to turn off the immobiliser if you have a door or boot key I.e.a second key without a red tag it does not switch off immobiliser and anti theft light remains on.the key fob "talks" to the receiver which is housed ig the ignition switch and or ecu .you will need a replacement key fob which needs to be program by an auto locksmith.average cost is about £75 per key. eBay for the key auto locksmith via google search or yellow pages.

How can I disable the anti theft system in a 1998 Ford f150 truck

Your vehicle has two theft systems - content theft , if the door is opened without the key or keyless entry key fob the horn honks lights flash . PATS - passive anti-theft system ,this keeps the vehicle from starting if the computers don't see the right code from the transponder pellet in the head of the key .
You can turn off the content theft but not the PATS , when trying to start the vehicle does the theft light flash fast ? Red light on top of the dash .

Security problem

Make sure you are turning the ignition to the on position. Most cars will flash the security light until it is reset. Then the car should start.
