Car Alarms: 2001 ford mustang, alarmtek, ford mustang

Question
I have a factory anti-theft device which shuts the car down if tampered with.  I had a problem this weekend and the "theft" button keeps flashing and I cannot start my car, use power locks, radio...nothing.  The manual says to put the key in and turn forward a notch to reset but it doesn't work.  How can I reset the entire anti-theft device so my car works again?

Answer
Ok, 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 troube is in the ignition at the reader
probably, but Ford will need to determine that.

Sorry about that.
