How to turn off anti theft on 2000 ford wendstar van?
Can't without some major work. Think about it - If there were some secret easy way, the car thieves would already be driving down the road in your van.
I think what she means is she accidentally activated it.
If your PATS is activated do this. Key out of ignition… Put key in and turn on but do not start… Look at theft light… If blinking fast… Wait 30 to 45 seconds or until it starts to blink slow or goes out… Turn the key off and remove it from the ignition… Wait 15 seconds… Turn key on… Do not start… Look at theft light… Should be blinking slow… Normal mode… When wait till start light goes out it should start normal
COPY PASTED from ford forum about PATS system below.
When you attempt to start the vehicle, the onboard computer sends out a RF signal that is picked up by the transponder in the key. The transponder then returns a unique RF signal to the vehicle's computer, giving it the ok for the vehicle to start and continue to run. This all happens in less than a second, and is completely transparent to the vehicle operator. It is a very effective system that does its job without the vehicle owner having to think about it, or modify his / her usual routine.

- My Ford Transit headlights turn on in off position and turn off in the on position? I'm a new driver, just passed my test. My van has some issue with the lights: namely, the lights turn off in the on position when the dash lights come on, and turn on when they are supposed to be off. This means that I'm driving at night without dash lights as I need to have the lights switched off in order for my headlights to be on. Might this be an electrical issue? Would anybody be able to give me advice and possibly know how much this costs to repair?
