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.
Probably has PATS. The fuel pump won't activate unless the transponder receiver (that was in the ignition) gets a signal from a properly programed key. Both are required for the car to start and run. Your boyfriend should've done his homework. If the ignition is still intact you can reinstall it and then take the title to a Ford dealership and get a key made. If the ignition is trashed, then you're boned an this is going to get expensive. Think of it as a stupidity tax.
Next to impossible to get around it without causing major damage, as the PATS module sits right next to the main computer. Suggest you have it towed to a Ford garage & let them fix it & make a new set of keys for it.

- 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?

- I was wondering if I can bypass the internal fuel pump with an external one? My 1999 ford focus fuel pump has broke and it's a bit of a pain to keep dropping the tank if it does it again, by the way it does not have a panel under the back seat. Would it be easier bypassing it with and external one and leave the old one where it is or would the sender unit not work properly
