No start no crank theft light I want to eliminate the pats system how do I do it

Welcome to the forum.

The only way to get rid of pats is reflash the ecm with a *tune* that disables it.

Why not just fix the problem instead?

Your topic would get more views if posted in the appropriate generation vehicle forum. (edit: I see the topic has now been moved there.)

Welcome, as JC states, fix problems.
I also was totally surprised finding out the PATS is irrevocable.
Owner should have option, but that will never happen, so you have 2 choices, get rid of vehicle, or repair.
With an OBD2 Scan tool Compatable with FORSCAN, you will be able to pinpoint the problem.
That is where to begin, as many times the issues are in programming vs parts replacement.

The only way to remove PATS is to replace the ECM with a non-PATS ECM from a fleet version of your vehicle. They are very hard to find.

It's cheaper to just invest in the equipment to manage the PATS system yourself.

A cheap Windows 7 laptop. FREE ForScan Software, and a $40 USB OBDII interface is all you need to program PATS.

and of course two unique chip keys. No clones.

Ford PATS Delete Service 1996 - 2004 EEC V

THIS IS A SERVICE WHERE YOU SEND YOUR ECM TO US Service for deleting PATS from 1996 to 2005 Ford Engine Computer. Diesels may incur an additional charge. If wanting to purchase this service for a Diesel use the following link: Diesel PATS Delete Service PATS stands for Passive Anti-theft System...

I don't have statistics to back up the following statement, but unless something unusual happened, the most common cause of PATS preventing starting is the transceiver module around the ignition lock cylinder failing. It is not coded nor any programming needed, is a simple plug and play swappable part.

Heh, when someone's first post is how to disable a vehicle security system, without much (or fishy) background reasons why, I always wonder if they're trying to steal it.

I've also heard of ECU's "forgetting" the keys after a battery change.

Fix it, or get a custom tune. Only real options like mentioned above. You can’t bypass it by removing stuff or adding jumpers.

The part number you posted is incorrect. It is for a bypass for a aftermarket remote start system and is not needed for the vehicle to function with the proper key.
