Hello, I changed the battery in my Mazada 2001 Tribute and the anti theft light is flashing. The car is running fine. But I had not notice this light flashing before.

I just had this same problem with a '96 . do you have a vats key in your '94? you need to bypass the VATS system. read some of the blogs on this site and it will tell you how to do it. I fixed mine with a $2 resistor from radio shack.

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

SOURCE: Car won't start - anti-theft light flashing

it sounds like the immobilizer is faulty. this will shut off the electrical feed to the starter motor. you will need to take it to a garage to get this fixed.

hope this helps.

SOURCE: Hello accent 2004 with anti theft system battery flat anti theft

Have you verified this system is running the battery down? The system you describe is called the Remote Keyless Entry System (Electronic Time/Alarm & Control System - ETACS Module). It cannot be 'disconnected' without disabling other systems (intermittent wipers, Chime bell, Door Warning, Dimming Off Room Lamp, Seat Belt indicator, remote power door lock/unlock system, etc.)

2003 ford f150 anti theft light on when truck not running

The Anti Theft light is programmed to operate four different ways. A slow flash is visible while the engine is off. This is an added theft deterrent and is by design. With the key in the run position (not running) the Light will function three different ways. A "Fast Flash" will alert you of an active fault and "Solid Light" indicates a stored fault. Both faults will disable the starting system. Lastly a "Slow three Flash, then the lights turns off" indicates the system is operating normal. More than likely the issue will be at the ignition key but diagnostics is needed. Any questions please write back. Good Luck.

Anti theft light blinking,dash lights up,windows roll up and down but car wont start. How do I start it?

If the anti theft light is blinking and you say that everything else fine.. My first thought is that the key is not programmed to the vehicle. The key has a internal chip that must be programmed to vehicle in order to start. Now my other question is, Is the key your using for the vehicle the original key or have you just recently had a key made? Regardless, in order for the yur Tribute to start, the key. Or keys have to be program to vehicle by your neighbor dealership. Thats the reason for your anti theft light is blinking

My key while in the ignition won't turn over or start car, warning light with car and a key in it flashes. What is the problem? Car is 2001 Mazada Tribute.

The key is tied to the computer which controls the engine. Apparently the key you are using needs to be reprogrammed to the computer. The dealer can do this for you.
