My car will start and some days she will not. When she does not start the anti theft light will flash like crazy! So today I am having it serviced by Ford because that is what I was recommended to do giving that it could be the PATS system, ignition switch, computer or my key.

Yes, it sounds let the PATS is having a problem. One thing I want to mention is I have seen where the drivers door latch can go out causing the alarm to have problems so if they cant find anything have them check there.

Please let us know what you find. We are interested to see what it is.

Cheers, Ken

Hey thanks Ken, I just got the car back today from Ford and it was my keys and the transreciver on the PATS. So I had to get two brand new keys have them reprogram everything. That even updated a few things on my car like the track app mode and a few other things. So I am a happy customer! Lol
