How can I bypass the anti-theft system?

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.

Ford's PATS anti-theft system disables the starter from spinning the engine . Flashing real fast while trying to start the vehicle means the vehicle see's wrong key code ,think's the vehicle is being stolen . Code's stored in the computer , FORD dealer , nothing you can or should do .

Hello Vickie,

It sounds like your battery is dead, or if you're really lucky, your battery cables are corroded.
Pop your hood and inspect your cables at the battery, especially the Positive (Red) lead. If you see white oxidation build up, then the cables need to be removed and cleaned.
If clean, then the battery may be dead. It can be beyond its service life (sometimes there is a date code on the battery so you can determine age).
If the vehicle can be jump started; after starting, turn on heater fan and headlamps to high. If the lights are dim, then the alternator may be bad or is going bad.
Start with the battery first, then go from there.

Did you check the battery of the car (maybe loose cable)? but if it just happen suddenly, it might be your altenator that wasn't charging your battery. I think once there's enough power gone through the car then your anti-theft system should work as normal again.
