2004 Ford Taurus Factory anti Theft System

From the world wide web..... Is your 'THEFT' light blinking rapidly when you put the ignition in 'RUN'? You can try the following steps and see if the car will start. 1. Turn the key to 'RUN' (do not try to start). 2. The 'THEFT' light should blink rapidly. After a minute the blinks should slow down. 3. Turn the ignition 'OFF' and remove the key and keep it at least 2 feet from the steering column for 30 seconds. 4. Put the key back in and turn to the 'RUN' position. Wait for the normal engine self-test procedure to take place. The 'THEFT' light should not be blinking. If it isn't you should be able to start the vehicle normally. If this doesn't work and the 'THEFT' light is still flashing you can disconnect the + Positive battery cable for a short while and reset the computer. If that doesn't work the PCM will most likely need a flash.

I hope so. Everything else has been checked. something is causing no power to coil pack. I will try this out, I'm running out of ideas. Thanks

I have a 2004 Ford Taurus the Theft indicator comes on flashing when I'm driving jerks and it will cut off when I come to a stop, and when I'm slow down boy speed limit it will Flash and try to cut off

I have a 2011 ford Taurus sel and the alarm light is flashing and I don't know how to disable it cause my car won't turn on at all and its not doing nothing

Not and answer at all just to share a lil of wtf I went thro that ran me upward of 1200 hundred dollars I had to replace computer worst thing is that the people who did this well the shop I had it fixed at didn’t show me old computer after I asked to be shown I jus hope no one gos thro any of these and hope ford takes care of issue with the Taurus or have it discounted

My car alarm is locked how do I unlock it so it will crank

I have same issue 2005 ford Taurus won't crank over new battery .what part should I try next I ain't Rich

I have a 99 Ford Taurus, it wouldn't turn over. battery is good, starter is good (tested), bought a new ignition switch but still wouldn't start. i saw a comment in another video that said to push a little black button that is down by your feet right next to where you plug a code reader into, and it started right up. If anyone knows what the button is, please let me know. Thanks

Guru5SCZ9 Did you ever find out the issue

Got a 2005 ford Taurus and got another battery for it and it wont start all it does when hook the battery up the wipers come on trunk opens lights flashes horn blows but wont start what would cause that

Could someone please email me what you think it might be thank u lilraydam3@gmail.com

I changed the battery in the key and it seemed to work

The battery in what key @Billy? Key fob car key has no battery just chip

Its goes beyond a battery issue I've changed my battery it starts but then this issue starts all over again with a brand new battery, new starter and altenator tests out good. I've tried the theft reset of open driver door putting the key to on position wait 10 mins take key out close driver door. Yes it has worked all 4 times but this is a huge inconvenience everytime I turn the car off get back in and nada. Something is causing this and I csnt figure out what 10 mins feels like hours when you have things to do. Why does this continue to happen atleast 2 to 3 times daily. Or I'm driving theft light comes on car jerks then shuts off like as if I ran out of gas sit 10 to 15 min and restarts driving as if its dragging 2 elephants. It's happening more often months ago it happened 1 a month now like I said a few times a day either it doesnt restart after a stop or stalls out as I'm driving because of the theft light comes on. Damn Fords 1st and most likely last also pcm relay looks burned in the fuse box it's dark in the housing relay not burned but the plastic yellow is darker then any other relay underneath on plastic fuse box...
