Ford Vehicle Security System Malfunctioning? I show you how to bypass it and start your vehicle.

[@tonypeeler3070]

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

[@scottsgaragehtx439]

No, Thank you for watching and the compliment.

2004 E-350 security system woes... I disconnected the battery to replace the cruise control switch and when I reconnected the batter the security system went haywire. Problem is, the remote key wouldn't work, same as yours at the beginning of your video. Well, push come to shove, I found your video and tracked down the security module. It was a different module, a World Link WL-504 and the wiring was different, but I found the wire codes on it and the starter wire was part of one of the large connectors with no corresponding input. I figured I'd have to come up with a way to energize it but for shits and giggles I thought I'd try to start it first. The damn thing started with the module completely disconnected and no further connections made. Good enough I said. I doubt the power locks will work but that's fine with me. Thanks for posting this video, it turned out to be my saving grace.

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)

[@drumguy1960]

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!!

[@motozappa2285]

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...

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.

Very informative

[@JoeSmith-ig3pr]

2000 Ranger with valet light. System 3 or 4. Did they ever put override switches? My manual from 2000 does not show it. Never really had to mess with it until my battery went dead.

[@VB-bk1lh]

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.

[@scottsgaragehtx439]

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.

[@LisaTynes-e5w]

Would this work with 2001 ranger with 6 cylinder, 3.0 L engine? 1:26

[@scottsgaragehtx439]

@@LisaTynes-e5w If the box is the same, then, yes. If it is different, then it's just a matter of jumping the ignition. Hopefully it is marked on the box. It was very helpful that these boxes are marked great.

[@crazyeye1]

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 😂

[@scottsgaragehtx439]

Good point. Maybe I should have suggested insolating the paper clip.

[@aprilsmith1652]

Does it work on the 07 expeditions? Or do I need to find a different video

[@scottsgaragehtx439]

@@aprilsmith1652 I'm not sure about the 07. If you have the two button key fob, it probably will work. I am assuming your alarm works similarly to mine as it interrupts the voltage to the fuel pump. With that in mind, if you can find the box the wiring similar. The great thing about this box is that it is marked with the wiring diagram. Good luck.

[@fullrangehemp903]

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?

[@scottsgaragehtx439]

The colors should be the same as the ones on my module. Can you identify the wires on the video?

[@scottsgaragehtx439]

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.

[@scottsgaragehtx439]

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.

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 have a suggestion for you this worked for me on a 2003 Acura TL... Take out the ECU there is a 9-pin prom chip in that ECU on the Acura was anyway break it off take it out of the circuit board there you can start it with any metal key... Cuz you still have to figure out a way to get the steering unlocked but I'm certain that you can find out how to do that that's just a suggestion I hope it works for you

You need to reprogram the transponder to the computer ....other choice there is would be to get the computer that goes with the transponder in case you got it used if new...yep gotta program it​@@give_measoda4405
