Question
I have a 1998 Ford Explorer Lariat and the theft system is blocking the power on everything ,it not even turn on the inside lights when I open the door,the theft light blinks every few seconds, it's there a way to reset it.

Answer
Before all of that, to me, it sounds like a power issue
other then the anti theft system, the part about "blocking the power on everything",
leads me to thing there may be a problem
with the battery or, alternator and the anti theft
is simply reacting to the power spiking & fluxuation.

If it's after market, the starter might be disabled,
but power would come on with the key and the
electrics would still work. :>(

If it is the Ford security system, there is a method I
sell online to take out the OEM horn honking and
headlight flashing system, but if this is the PATS system
(Ford's PASSIVE ANTI THEFT SYSTEM) a bypass using the original
programmed key is going to be required.)

This option is also available here, but you will require
1 original coded key and a relay to get it done.

www.GMPASSLOCK.com has all the links needed to
accomplish your goal if this is the problem.

Have a good day.
