light when I turn the key and the "THEFT" light blinks on 2 count non-stop. Seems to be the PATS system? Any way to fix this problem......cheaply?
 






keyless entry pad doesn't work either. any ideas anyone?
 






finally got the answer. my mechanic (a displaced Ford dealership lead mechanic who went on his own when Ford closed his dealership) hooked up a code reader and found that there was no electricity getting to the main brain. After searching he found a worn wire from the main fuse box under the hood. $150 bucks and 1 day! Back in buisiness baby!!!!
