Is the security light flashing ? PATS - fords anti-theft system disable the starter from working if has a problem .

If you have no power anywhere in the system - check the main fuse. It should be in the engine bay fuse box.

hi,

check ign fuse in engine compartment, if blown take the distributor cap off and cut the wire that runs to that capacitor( small silver cylinder}, tape the wires off and put it back together replace fuse and see if it starts.

2006 Ford Explorer sport trac anti theft kill switch ???? There is no reset button for the anti- theft . Dealer !

The first thing you can do Is disconnect battery for 10 seconds then reconnect..This will reset the complete vehicle system...Be sure all doors and windows are closed before you reset with the battery test...Also I have seen the same problem caused by a faulty key fob.....

It is hard to give a definite answer because I don't know which and how many wires were damaged...Anti theft can be a real HEADACHE.....You can begin by disconnecting battery cables..Use your VIN number for parts,Get new ignition with a programmed factory key from dealer only.....They probably blew certain fuses and or relays when this happened...Or maybe not..Install new ignition connect battery cables..,turn switch on just to check for bad fuses and relays...Disconnect battery again...replace any fuses blown...Connect battery again...( Each time you disconnect battery it resets the computer system and should clear anti theft codes..)..make sure all doors are unlocked by using door remote key fob....Now see if vehicle will crank..If all is done correctly it should start...However I don't know how much damage was done.....It may possibly be too much work to totally disengage anti theft....You could start with removing all fuses and relays related to anti theft but disconnect battery before...I DO NOT RECOMMEND trying to disable the theft system.....You may create more headaches that you want.......Begin by trying what I described just to be safe...!!....

Look in ur 2004 freestar book and find the fuse it should be #9 (PATS FUSE)under the driver dash. Take the fuse out the lil red light on dash will not light anymore and ur van will start and keep the fuse out.

Its the Anti-Theft System. See what the owners manual says about it, if you have it. Normally, with late model cars a low power 12volt source is first plugged into the cigarette lighter socket to keep the Anti-Theft System from arming, when disconnecting the battery You will have to have it reset at a good garage or dealership.
