Re: Anti-theft going fast when the key in the ignition is...
Try to reset system with key fob by locking and unlocking doors. Sometimes using the key to unlock and lock the drivers door will also reset the system

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.
Usually means the sensor in the lock cylinder is not reading the code in the key. If the pass key system does not get the right signal from the key the truck will not start. You might try taking the key off your ring - put it in the lock and turn the switch on - but don't crank it for at least a minute. There are procedures to reset the anti-theft online - - if you do a search for resetting anti-theft F150 you can read them.
my 2001 ford windstar wont start, i was driving it and completly lost power it would chug like it was running out of gas then had no power,shut it off and it wouldnt start again after that.I changed the mass air low censor,the fuel pump,the ignition switch,relays and fuses the brain box,i have no idea what to change next have any suggestion that could help that would be great thanks
does it have an autostart? if you have two keys (this will only work if you have two) turn the key to on in the ignition and wait till the theft light goes out do this for each key this may fix your problem.
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.
Something in your anti theft system has failed. The key,transceiver, or module. The only way to find out is to run a diag on that circuit. You will need special tester.
