- Starting your Ford with a malfunctioning Vehicle Security System. I was 57 miles from any town and my alarm system in regard to the key fob decided to be a "no show". I could not turn off the alarm or start the truck. Watch the video to see what I did to get the truck started and make my way home. #trucks #f250 #ford

Great video... Nice to see someone can actually make a video with voice, no music, direct and too the point..... And actually give useful information. Thanks man
No, Thank you for watching and the compliment.
I appreciate your help, in my case I didn’t need anything I just disconnected and boom it started (F150 2005)
Thank you. It worked great for my E 250
Good job Macgiver
Very informative
Thanks!!!! Good to know!!!!!😮😮😮😮😮
This is brilliant Scott's Garage "HTX"! I was 3.5 hours from home and tried half a dozen other remedies... none other did diddly squat. Got me home well, so thanks a lot for posting
👍 PS: 2000 Ford Explorer it's tucked up super well inside and no such luck with merely springs clips and a quarter, but oh well. (Subscribed)
I have a 2000 as well and I can't even SEE the anti theft module...mind telling me where it's located under the dash? :) Please!!
In the 2000 as in this video it is by the driver's shins and knees. Additionally in this particular model there is a plastic cover with tricky small bolts involved two of which are on either side of the hood release but the other should be more visible. Once you pull that down and out you'll have to deal with a metal plate behind it was about five or six other bolts. They just don't build them like that anymore! Once you get in there you should see it on your right side so unplug it and jump (bypass) it as described in the video. You don't really need to get it repaired after that unless you want all the alarm stuff and the ignition kill but considering it's age come on. Hope that helps and right back if you need more instructions...
thank you same happened to me
Thank you sir ✅🫡
I am having this issue with my 05 ford, 6.0 and I opened the bottom piece and the alarm box is not there? What can I try
Thank you awsome
Does this only work if you have an alarm on the truck? I’m having an issue with mine also and it’s driving me nuts. I don’t have an alarm and it’s just not starting and it’s a 2001 f150
Just got a 2001 Escort for a beater. I’ll try this in the morning. I probably set my alarm off half a dozen times tonight. My neighbors love me now.
Hello. Thanks for watching. That’s hilarious. I’ve been lazy and have not gotten around to fixing this issue.
@@scottsgaragehtx439 I was actually able to remove the whole box. I guess Ford didn’t consider the Escort worthy enough to have an extra layer of anti theft.
@@scottsgaragehtx439 do you do consultations? 2003 ford focus intermittent power fluctuations are 100% of the time ...fluctuating so much unable to start.... relay is clicking, everything is clicking on and off ...just replaced computer and NO CHANGE....
I really wish someone would come up with a technical fix or bypass to the pats system. So you DON'T NEED TO HAVE A KEY!!! Or 2 keys for that matter. Every video about fixing, bypass, solved, or whatever title they post, it's all basically the same thing. They HAVE A KEY THAT GOES TO THE CAR! My keys are GONE! I don't have a single key that matches the car. My keys are lost forever. You can't tell me that there is no way around the security system!
I'm going thru the same bullshit as you brother I lost my Damn keys and my fob won't work... I have a 2001 Ford F 250 V/10 that I've been working on for the last 3 month's everything is new except the engine block...and no one can bypass there has to be someone out there...I hope you get your vehicle on the road... Frustrated Ford enthusiasts...
Going through the same thing . Security light just flashes fast when i try to start it …i changed ignition cylinder transponder and key that goes with it still no lick let me know if you find a salution .
thanks!! cause this is driving me nuts!!! (2002 E450 Super Duty). not sure about pulling out wires tho cause 99.9999% certain this is aftermarket
Hi and thankyou for this video. My 02 Ford Explorer won't start and the THEFT light is flashing and making a clicking noise. Do you think this same procedure will work for me and is it only a temporary fix? TIA
Hello and thanks for watching. It should if you have a similar alarm box. All your are doing is circumventing the alarm and restoring power to the ignition switch.
Just make sure you don’t have the paper clip touching any bare metal in the car. You thought having a bad alarm was bad, some poor bloke would ground his starter wire with the paper clip and really be stranded because he can’t find a replacement fuse 😂
Good point. Maybe I should have suggested insolating the paper clip.
Do you think this will work on a Ford territory
WOW - impressive! Love this - thanks! My 2002 Mustang module doesn't have any wiring info on the box. Any suggestions on how to identify the correct (2) wires that need to be crossed?
The colors should be the same as the ones on my module. Can you identify the wires on the video?
@@scottsgaragehtx439 03 ford explorer would it be the same?
That's not a factory alarm, those are dealer installed, aftermarket alarms. The OEM or factory alarm will honk the horn and not have a cheap siren or a rigged in place module like that.
The best thing you can do there is to follow the wires back to where ever they cut and spliced that thing in and reconnect all the factory connections and throw that thing in the trash.
The early versions were made by Code Alarm. The current brand for those is Voxx Electronics.
They were only as good as the install itself. The problem is they paid techs very little to install those and most allotted only a half hour for the full install.
Part of the install includes cutting the factory power lock wires, starter wires, and ignition wires on some models.
If these connections were not made with good solder and heat shrink your left with a bunch of twisted and taped connections that are sooner or later going to fail.
I've seen some really poor installs over the years. To do it right, on some models your looking at several hours to half a day to locate and splice the correct wires.
Then you have the likely hood of that module failing, or having trouble when it comes to dealing with the key transponder system.
I had a conversion van with one in it, when I got the van I re did the install correctly and it was fine for about 5 years, then the module failed, one of the internal relays became intermittent. I was able to fix it but soon after other parts of the module failed as well. I removed it completely with the thought that at 8 years old, and being parked in my garage, the chances of theft were slim.
This is good stuff. That is why I cannot find a matching fob to replace mine. It makes sense it is a dealer installed unit with Ford licensing. Thanks.
once the truck starts, do I take paper clip off and reconnect the module?
No leave in. It should die i((fuel pump cut off) if you pull. The clip. This is meant for a temporary fix to get to a repair shop.
The alarm system is an option ? Not on all of them right?
That's correct. There were two versions. A manufacturer installed and a dealer installed I am told.
This work for the 2002 excursion also ?
Yes. IF it has the two oval button (and one red oval panic button below) key fob. I can not find these fobs anywhere and will probably have to install a totally separate system. Argh! I have been putting off spending the $. I am not sure if the square button fobs has the same controller, but there is only one way to find out. Take that panel down and see. Good luck. Thanks.
Thanks, I don't have a quarter or a paper clip. Just joking 👍
GOOD BOY
Getto!😅
Wow if this is my problem might disable that crap for good.
I'm having this problem with my 2011 f150. uugh! by the way ur handsome lol...😁
Good Luck and many thanks cutie.
What year is your truck?
2000.
Did you find it drained your battery as well?
This is the issue I think I'm having on my Mustang.
@@kevinstewart5375 I found it was an alternator there is still a drain in the system just need to drive it more. But I’ll be trying this next
For has the worst security system
Yep. I'm not pleased either.
Does this only work if you have an alarm on the truck? I’m having an issue with mine also and it’s driving me nuts. I don’t have an alarm and it’s just not starting and it’s a 2001 f150
