Theft light
When I turn my 2000 ranger on the theft light stays on for a minute and then flashes slowly for about a minute. It dosent do it all the time, just randomly.. Any ideas what it could be?? Any help is appreciated!

Re: Theft light
I know on my old 06, it would blink when the truck was off as a dummy light to potentially scare off peeps, but don't recall it staying illuminated when truck was on

Re: Theft light
Maybe..u might not be able to start it someday...the PATS system may lock u out..
Then u have to get it towed to the dealer and pay big bucks to have it reset and reprogrammed etc..

I bought the truck a little over a year ago, it only came with one key and it isn't even a "ford" key. I think it was the spare or somthing. It says strattec on it

I would start by getting a new key made . I only have one key on the truck I just got. My dependable locksmith said he could make me the first one for $60 and anymore after that for $25. You can program them Yourself if you have 2.
