Anti Theft

Asked by Jordan Jan 09, 2018 at 02:17 PM about the 2006 Ford Focus ZX4 SE

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

So my car battery died, I got a new one installed.
But now my car is locked down by the Anti Theft
System. I've tried a few things to reset it but they
aren't working. Is there anything else I can do?

Same issue after changing battery on 2005 Focus, no key fob BTW. Fix was simple enough it turns out. Attach the positive terminal, turn ignition ON, Then connect the negative battery terminal, car started right up, just make sure everything is clear of moving parts.
