Car Alarms: 99 contour no start, ford contour, alarmtek

Question
have 99 ford contour sport  it is a key system no remote or keyless entry the red light in the middle of the face plate above the radio keeps flashing and the car will not (start). how do i disarm or reset it so the car will start again checked everywher ther is no valet switch. may god bless you forever.

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.

The trouble is in the ignition at the reader
probably, but Ford will need to determine that.

Sorry about that.
