Any way to bypass the Ford PATS system?

*I lost my original keys to my 2001 Ford Ranger.*

Ordered a new lock cylinder prior to knowing about the PATS system. Drilled the old one. What can I do? Have a new set of keys with no chip in them. Truck will not start. Theft light blinks and I get nothing.

Since you have neither of the original keys, you have to go to the dealer to get a new transponder key programmed to your truck. You need to bring the title to the vehicle to do this. If you aren't the the actual owner, the person on the title must do it.

The PATS is doing exactly what it was designed to do. You'll need to tow it to a dealer…

  • How to bypass the antitheft on 2004 ford Taurus? Bought a car for a demo off a guy who did not have keys for it. It came from an impound towing place so they gave us only the title and my boyfriend ripped out the ignition and it won't start now by hot wiring it because the anti theft won't let it fire. Anything we can do? Getting a key is not an option because he pulled it all out.

  • Any way to make this car flashier? This is my current vehicle: http://m.web2carz.com/used/detail.php?vehicleId=106057119&w2caf=8be436a6a4e0a591 a 2006 Ford Escape Limited in black. I have an appointment to have my windows tinted and headlights restored next week. I regularly keep it washed and waxed. In addition, I also have tasteful aftermarket running boards that are silver with black step accents. Are there any additions you believe could make this car stand out just a little more and not blend in so much?
  • Is there any way to beef up a 99 Ford Windstar? I have a 99 Windstar SEL has the 3.8L. I know much people don't make minivans into drag cars or what not. I was just wondering if anyone has done it or has any ideas. If can't what would be a good engine to swap out. I don't want to hear it's stupid or what not. I want to do something different from the regular cars and trucks.
