The transaxle sensor may be defective, main thing is to make sure there's still transmission fluid in it so it don't get destroyed. Check the fluid level. If fluid level is ok then it's probably the sensor, if you find out what kind of sensor it is and if you can afford a new one then get er done, if you're poor then you may be able to bypass it for a while, just need to know how the sensor works, by pressure or by volume or by fluid level, then you can figure out how to bypass it.

Try you tube !

The alarm warning !

Have a repair shop with a gas analyzer "sniff" the car and see where you are losing fuel, also look for gas stains under the car on a car lift remember, gas evaporates quickly so you may not see anything on the ground, until you have repaired this leak your car is a fire danger to you and all who ride in it.

Confirm that all of the pulleys are free to rotate. The water pump, alternator, power steering, idler, tension, and A/C. The A/C compressor has been known to seize Installing the belt including the alternator (unless a pulley has seized) is very unlikely to keep the engine from crank! Hope this helps

If the CEL is blinking this should mean codes are set. Light may go out when intermittent problem cures itself, but code should still be stored. If not, I'm stumped.

It is right near the oil filter under the car.

Replace pump

The PATS - passive anti-theft system is a program (software ) programmed into the instrument cluster , PCM - engine computer , GEM module etc... Plus behind the plastic shroud on steering column where the lock cylinder is located the passive anti-theft transceiver module ! You better know what your getting into when you start to mess with anti-theft systems , you can render your vehicle useless if your not careful ! Need factory scanner to program keys , to read trouble codes , check data etc... If you change transceiver module it will need to be programmed ! FORD DEALER ONLY ! You can program more keys but need to have original two keys that came with the vehicle or you can't do it > Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) -Principles of Operation PATS uses a specially encoded ignition key. Each encoded ignition key contains a permanently installed electronic device called a transponder. Each transponder contains a unique electronic identification code out of over 18 billion, billion combinations. The passive anti-theft system (PATS), also known as SecuriLock ®, uses radio frequency identification technology to deter a drive-away theft. This system is known as SecuriLock® in North America, Safeguard® in the U.K., and PATS in Continental Europe. Passive means that it does not require any activity from the user. The SecuriLock® System (PATS) is not compatible with non-Ford aftermarket remote start systems, which allow the vehicle to be started from outside the vehicle. These systems may reduce the vehicle security level, and also may cause no-start issues. If equipped, the remote start system must be removed before investigation of PATS-related, no-start issues. Each encoded ignition key must be programmed into the vehicle powertrain control module (PCM) before it can be used to start the engine. There are special diagnostic repair procedures described in this section that must be carried out if a new encoded ignition key is necessary. The correct ignition key is a different design than prior model years. Please consult the Rotunda Key Ordering Guide for the correct part number. So , before messing with something you know nothing about , do yourself a favor , take it to the nearest FORD dealer ! So

There isnt just a "Transmission" fuse, what problem are you currently having?

There is a pin that locks the transmission in park, you have somehow broken off that locking pin. The transmission will now need to be repaired. When the car is put in park make darn sure you are completely stopped and not putting a load on the pin.

Smoke is never a good thing. If the smoke smells like burning plastic, you probably have an electrical problem somewhere under there and should stop using the vehicle immediately and get it to an auto electric shop for repairs. Waiting could cause failure, or worse, fire. If the smell is exhaust-like, then you may have an exhaust leak under the hood and it is coming in thru the ventilation system. This should be checked out quickly, since carbon monoxide, present in engine exhaust, is a toxic poison that can kill if the concentration gets too high. If you must use the vehicle with exhaust gases entering the passenger compartment (and it is never recommended!), ensure all the windows are open to get plenty of fresh air, regardless of the weather conditions outside -- cold and wet is better than warm, dry, and DEAD!
