This will sound weird but it is how I took care of mine. Instead of trying to deactivate the anti-theft, activate it, arm it. Hit the "Lock" button on the key fob, insert the key, and start the engine. This cleared the failure for me... hope it works for you too.

Anti theft reset in my mucury sabel 20010

Hi Melissa , why do you want to do a reset ? Vehicle not cranking over - engine not turning over ? When you try to start it is the red light on top of the dash flashing faster then with key off ? When key off a flash will happen every 2 seconds ! When trying to start it flashes very fast. If having a anti-theft problem the starter will not engage !

Anti theft light won't go out

There are 2 things to try:
1) Use your key to manually unlock the driver's side door - sometimes this alone is enough to reset your security system.
2) Put your key in the ignition and turn to ON position (do not try to start the car, just turn to ON)- after 30 seconds, attempt to start the car and see if the security light goes out.

I have a 2001 mercury sable and the anti theft is on and I can't start my car. will disconnecting the battery reset it?

Yes, keep it disconnected for at least 10 minutes. Also make sure your Battery is good. Sometimes the Anti-theft is sensitive to Battery voltage and will not connect the internal parts to allow a start.

If you have a Keypad, enter the Security Code on the Keypad and turn the Ignition Key within 5 to 10 seconds to start it.
