Car Alarms: bypassing keyless entry, remote starters, ford dealership

Question
hi_ let me  start by apologizing for asking this question again as i lost the original answer. so my brother has a 2001 mustang gt convert. with factory keyless & alarm. his car sat for months & battery died. got new battery, checked alternator & starter....both good. Now the car will only start when jumped. but this is the weird thing, i have to hook positive to positive and negative to negative instead of negative to ground for the system to allow the car to start. you mentioned some sort of grounding bypass kit for $69.99. is this my only option, or can a FORD dealership reset the anti-theft system. i have the original keyless fob and original key. thanks for listening

Answer
Ok, unfortunately, this vehicle has the
FORD PATS key based engine disabling system,
and it's not recognizing the chip in your
key.

My expertise is in disabling
the PATS for remote start applications,
so if it's me, I would suggest the Directed 555P
or the im04/xk04 bypass kits to get around the issue.
(69.95)

This Bypass Module is designed to momentarilly
allow the engine to remote start by sending a proper
coded pulse to open the fuel rail passlock injector
cut off circuit.

The output from an alarm/remote starter
would then shut down the pulse, once it has detected
the engine has engaged, and preserve the integrity
of the PATS system.

That is it's designed purpose.

However, in your case, this input wire on
the 555P module, instead of going to a
momentary ground pulse from an
alarm/remote starter, would go to a
constant chassis ground, through
the bypass module, grounding out the PATS.
The PATS would always be bypassed as long
as that wire is chassis grounded.

I can not speak about a damaged PATS system,
like if a thief has destroyed it, because I do not
get into this part of FORD'S security application.
But as a happy coincidence to installing
after market remote starters, this does work on bypassing
trnasponder in most all FORD vehicles we've run into,
including your year FORD vehicle as well.

Also, this is a self learning, resistor sensing
and adjusting module. Once the PATS wires have been tapped,
you would press the program button to learn,
and it does. The car should then allow start
with any hardware store key.

It would work on this one too.
