Car Alarms: PATS Ford Explorer Reset, push button switches, ford service


Question
I have a coworker who's Explorer turns over but wont start. It shut down as she was pulling out of her spot in our parking lot. I saw a similar situation with a friend and it turned out to be the PATS system not allowing the car to start. Can you tell us where the toggle/reset switch is? We looked under the dash but couldn't find it.

Answer
If it is PATS (LIKELY) no valet switch would be found.
This is the fuel rail injection disabling circuit for the
fuel rail in this truck and if enguaged, will need Ford
service to reset the PATS.

Toggle/reset push button switches are after market only
I'm afraid.

Contact Ford today to price a reset/tow.

Sorry for the bad news so early in the day.
