Question
Why is the THEFT light on the dash of my Mercury Mountaineer blinking rapidly?  The car won't start even if I "override the system by manually unlocking the driver door with the key and then turn the ignition to start the car" (as the car manual says).  The THEFT light does go out when I turn the ignition all the way (at which point the airbag light comes on) but otherwise, when I turn the key off it starts blinking rapidly again.  The car will not start, lights are out, the car is disabled, etc. Thanks for any help you can provide.

Ok, asked and answered many, many times in the past &
you should have used the links on the page you came from
to check on those past answers.

I have set up a web site
to deal with the FORD P.A.T.S.
"No Start" issue and explained the methods,
with illustrations, to get around this common
problem many Ford vehicle owners
& shop mechanics face everyday.

Please go to the FORD PATS website/Blog
and begin your project to learn how to
bypass PATS so you can drive your vehicle again!

Good luck and if you have more relative questions
about the Ford's P.A.T.S. (Passive-Anti-Theft-System),

please be sure to use the PATS BLOG link on that
page to post it or, any other comments you want to
express.

I do hope you find it useful,
& good luck with your project.
