Auto Theft Prevention/Ford Focus 2005 anti theft light keeps flashing

Question
This was not happening before. The warning button shows a lock with a car in the bacground when it flashes. When I turn the ignition off, the light starts to flash on the instrument panel, whether the doors are open or closed. Is that normal? When the engine is turned on the light stops flashing. It is always flashing when you leave the car parked, whether the doors are locked or not.

Answer
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 XKO4 PKFORD bypass module
at www.PASSLOCK2.com and bypass it permananently.

This will solve your issue for good.
