Theft Mechanism Help

supermachone · January 7th, 2008, 08:55 PM

so i unhooked the neg. battery cable, changed out my speedometer cluster, hooked the neg. battery cable, turned over key, gauges lit up and worked(didnt attempt to start car then), but after leaving it set for 20 minutes, when i turn the key the theft light blinks and my car wont start, it'll act like it wants to but just wont....anyone know how to deactivate the theft?

you jacked with your pats system.

you need to take the ecu out of your old cluster and put it into your new one and hook it back up

i dont think that can be unlocked...kinda defeat the purpose. Prob. have to have ford reflash your comp if that got messed up?? I asked ford about 5mnths ago and i think it was 70$ to have it reflashed.
