Bro!! You are a life saver! Did this at random gas station in Oklahoma when I thought I was for sure calling a tow truck. I owe you the stickiest of my icky.
My 2002 F150 was acting up and I just tried what you said with the key. It started right up after that. Thanks Bro! By the way I have over 320k miles on it and still going
recently having an issue with truck not turning on and no full crank. mechanic and some buddies said it was a anti-theft issue. Going to give this a try and see how it goes.
Try this, disconnect the battery cables and wait a few minutes, then reconnect the cables, the horn should start beeping really loud, then press and hold the alarm button under the dashboard for 3 to 5 seconds and the horn should stop beeping, then turn the key like it says in the manual and it should start. Good luck bro. Hope this helps.
If you just have a solid "THEFT" light staying on and a fob that works some of the time?..put a new battery in your fob!..the light will operate properly..:)
Hey man cool video. So just to have it clear. Youre video shows how to bypass the anti theft security feature on Fords from what exact year's again? Will this work in a 03 F150 crew cab???
Not a bypass. Truck stopped recognizing the key (code B1600 for the PATS system not recognizing key) and went into disable mode (code p1260 for truck thinking it's being stolen and going into disable mode shutting down engine) .. it could be anything such as accidentally inserting wrong key and trying to crank.
2002 with when you turn key to off the locks cycle, even if you do it one time. As soon as it’s in off the locks cycle, so it doesn’t enter programming mode- anyone else with this issue?
My 2000 ford f150 says its in theft mode when im cracking my own car but idk why . Could somebody help me i only have 1 key for my car and i don’t have a fob.
I get this question alot. My truck came from the dealership with a Key FOB. I have seen After Market Key FOBs for sale at my local Auto Parts Big Chain Store but You might need to buy one from the dealership depending on the year and model. Thanks for watching and commenting. I hope everything works out for you.
Need more info for your situation..whats it not doing?.if you only have a key, do you have automatic door locks and no key fob? Do you have an alarm with a kill switch but lock your doors manually with a key? If you only have a key and an alarm then there should be a small box with a red light somewhere on or under your dashboard and it should have a reset button on it....disconnect your battery cable for a few minutes and then reconnect it, then push and hold that reset button down for 3 -5 seconds and the alarm should beep. I think I have a video about it. If you need a key fob you can buy an after market one at auto zone or O'Reilly's or pep boys, and places like that .... Good luck bro with whatever problem you have with your truck...
Ok, sorry to hear that, maybe the problem is something else...try disconnecting both battery cables, wait about 5 minutes then reconnect the cables, the alarm should start beeping, then try resetting it the way it shows in the manual ....good luck, hope you figure it out and thanks for watching.
my 2002 truck doesn't have an alarm system, but it does have the flashing "theft" sign on the dashboard. sometimes when getting back into my truck, the car won't crank at all because of this fuckin issue. I've held the key 🔑 all the way down while repeatedly pressing my lock/unlock buttons on the door and the truck magically starts. and sometimes this doesn't work. as I'm typing this, I'm stranded at a gas station, desperately trying to go home. FUCK ford, this is a hazardous design flaw. I have the original key, and i can't get home because of their cheap ass system that i can't seem to fix.
Damn bro good luck....let's try this.....press and hold the button down for 2-3 seconds...you should hear the horn beep....then try turning the key back and forth the way I show you in this video (owners manua)l and it should start up.....it's weird that you have the red light anti theft reset button but not an alarm....basically it's a kill switch so no one can steal your truck....God bless ya man I hope you get it started and home safe.
@@DodsonDodsworthI’m having the same issue as well, it doesn’t alarm and someone tried to steal it, I already replaced the wires but the only thing is I don’t have a key fob, not sure if I have to take it to ford dealership
@@Bloodhound789 you can buy a key fob at your local auto parts store and program it yourself...did you buy the truck used and it didn't have the fob? Or did you lose the fob? My truck has an alarm but it also has a kill switch. If someone trys to steal it and cuts my alarm wires, it won't start...they sell after market universal key fobs. Good luck, hope you figure it out, sorry if this video didn't help you...
@@DodsonDodsworth I bought the truck used it’s an f150 single cab, and I’ve been trying to tackle it down yesterday, but even while in theft mode will I be able to program the fob or does it need to be taken to a more professional locksmith?
I’m having the same problem as you guys and am going to try the tips that Dodson recommended for a permanent fix. But here’s a temporary fix for when you’re stranded. Put the key in the ignition, turn it all the way forward and let it sit there for 10 minutes. This will temporarily disable the Ford security system and let you start the truck. But it doesn’t always work the first time. Sometimes you have to do it twice. Mine will always start eventually though.
If you lost the key FOB, (transmitter) you can buy an after market key FOB and program it the way it says in the manual....I don't know why you would have a truck with an alarm system and not have a Key FOB...did you buy the truck used and didn't get the key FOB and now you can't start it?? I don't know your situation, well good luck, I hope you get the problem fixed...
@Dodson Dodsworth, this is my problem. I bought a used truck. Didn't have a key fob. Have had truck for a while now. Needed a new battery. Changed battery and now truck won't start.
My truck has an alarm system with anti theft. That's why it comes with a key fob. I can automatically lock and unlock the doors with the key fob or I can lock and unlock my doors manually with the key. If someone breaks into my truck and opens the door the alarm will go off and the truck won't start. If they cut the wires to the alarm the anti theft won't let the truck start. Early model Killswitch. Came from the factory dealership that way when bought new.
I watched numerous videos but had no luck with my 2003 f150 until your video Thanks so much it worked 🎉

No luck🤦🏾♀️
my 2002 truck doesn't have an alarm system, but it does have the flashing "theft" sign on the dashboard.
sometimes when getting back into my truck, the car won't crank at all because of this fuckin issue.
I've held the key 🔑 all the way down while repeatedly pressing my lock/unlock buttons on the door and the truck magically starts.
and sometimes this doesn't work.

What if you don't have a transmitter, I guess that manual is garbage

That's completely my issue. Bought my truck years ago and never realized it was supposed to have a fob until stuck in pats lock
@Dodson Dodsworth, this is my problem. I bought a used truck. Didn't have a key fob.
Have had truck for a while now. Needed a new battery. Changed battery and now truck won't start.
So is there any other way to start the truck without the transmitter key fob
@crystalchapa7529 did you ever find a fix I'm in the same situation
If you don't have automatic door locks why do you need this 3 button key fob?
My truck has an alarm system with anti theft. That's why it comes with a key fob. I can automatically lock and unlock the doors with the key fob or I can lock and unlock my doors manually with the key. If someone breaks into my truck and opens the door the alarm will go off and the truck won't start. If they cut the wires to the alarm the anti theft won't let the truck start.
