Ford Repair: anti theft device, ford motor company, ford excursion


Question
I'm a tech. in Iraq I have a ford excursion 2003, the anti theft device is activated and I need to know how to deactivate it or by pass the system the truck won't start. My biggest problem is there is no dealership here/thanks for your help Chris

Answer
Chris:

If it is the Ford Passive Anti Theft System (key operated) there is no way to disable it outside of using the proper key or by programming two new keys with an NGS tester or WDS tester.  Ford Motor Company will not release information concerning the harness that runs from the PATS halo around ignition switch to the PATS module or PCM if PATS is integrated.  Most common concerns are with the PATS ring that sits around the ignition switch, the keys themselves, or aftermarket remote start systems.

Wish I had better news
