ENGINE WILL NOT CRANK THEFT LIGHT FLASHES REAL FAST WHEN I TRY TO START
I hate to see these questions. Ford had a real problem with the pats system in 2000 & 2001. Can not reset. The problem is ECM will probably have to replace.
Several things could be wrong/bad. The key/transponder, the receiver in the column, wiring, the security module, and the ecm. You need to have the codes read. This narrows things down. I replace the entire system. I get them at junk yards for $1500 to $200. But you need them all and they have to fit your car, year amke and model, engine size and transmission.

Refer to the owners manual for dis-arming procedure for the anti-theft, if you do not have the owners manual here is a link to Ford for a free PDF file of the owners manual.

This means that your key is not being recogonized.Ethier the chip in the key is bad or the patts transciever at the lock cylinder. Do you have a spare key? If not you will have to get 2 new keyss cut and programmed.

First thing I would check is to see if you have power at the trigger wire of the starter motor while someone is trying to start the vehicle for you. It will be a Yellow with a light blue trace. If you do then I would check to see if the main battery cable has power to it all the time when someone is trying to crank it. If it does then I would hold a test light on the case of the starter motor and have someone try to crank it. Make sure that the ground you use for this test is on the negative battery terminal not just anywhere on the car. If the test light lights while you are cranking it then you have a bad ground. Hook up a set of jumper cables from the battery negative terminal and clamp it directly on to your starter motor and see if it starts. If you check it and the test light doesn't light up and all the other checks are good then your starter motor has failed. If one of the other tests has failed then you have a starter relay problem or something else. let me know what you find out.
