Question
I have a 2004 Ford Ranger Edge, v-6;  my question is, is there a way a reset the anti-theft system?  My truck has the red lock symbol on every 2 to 3 seconds it blinks.  All electrical working fine,(lights, radio, etc) but truck won't start not even crank.  Please help.  Thanks

Answer
Only at Ford if "resetting" is what you are looking to do.

This vehicle has the PATS anti-theft system
in the ignition and key.
It appears you've reset the PATS.
The car does not recognise the chip in the ignition
key any longer.

The PATS (FORD'S PASSIVE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM)
needs to be reprogrammed I believe.
You can tow it to any FORD vehicle dealer
to have the service department re code it.

Or, get the KXO4 PKFORD bypass module
at www.PASSLOCK2.com and bypass it permananently.

This will solve your issue for good.
