How to turn off the anti theft system on a ford escape?

My escape won't start it doesn't even crank the alarm just keep on blinking what should I do??

If the positive cable being removed didn't help reset do this it worked for me..Remove no cable..factory reset.. Close all doors, insert key into drivers door...Cycle to lock position back to unlock twice... Now place your key into ignition..with key in ignition Cycle key to off,then on ....off to on... Twice...Close

I lost my chirp.How can Iturn the alarm completely off

On a ford escape remove positive cable from battery, place key in car and turn to the on position, then replace positive cable, turn key off then back on to reset anti theft system.

2006 escape didnt work on it

Junk it and buy a Chevy

2008 ford escape has set up over a year .it was running fine when I parked it but has had the back window busted out.it will not go off of anti theft mode. I only have one key . Do I need to have it reprogrammed or have 2 keys or what

That bullshit does not work

I followed the advice from Jay. C and this just worked for me. I own a 2001 Ford Escape.

Worked on 2005 escape! Thank you so much!

Tengo el mismo problema del sistema antirrobo encendido

If all else fails put the key in the door turn lock & unlock twice and it stopped the alarm on my 2001.

None of these or anything else has worked on my 2004 I've tried every Google answer, Nothing..

DB’s worked on my 2001! Thank you!

Not an answer but a question...I lost my 2002 ford escape keys and can't find them no where.can I disengage the anti theft on my car and just replace the ignition cylinder? Or how do I reprogram a ford key that fits my vehicle but not the antitheft. So it can workfor the antitheft.

Tried all of these...still unable to reset alarm...help please

I have a 2001 escape xlt,hazards flash for 2 mins when i start it or open the doors, how do i stop this?

Have 2001 Ford Escape. Storm activated alarm system, lost FOB! Still started but horn, flashers, head lights stayed on few minutes. Could still drive. Saw the tip from Betty 2001..ford escape. IT WORKED FIRST TIME! THANKS SO MUCH! Repeat: close all doors insert key drivers door. Cycle lock position back to unlock twice. Now place key into ignition. Cycle key to off, then on twice.

Ya my 04 escape has also not had any luck with any of these

2004 Escape :.. Lock all doors with the drivers door button...shut door... Turn to lock then to +unlock 2 times...simple

Tried advice from Betty 2001 ford escape. IT WORKED! THANKS!

Guys. The answer is replace fuse 27

@TheresaDDriver You will need a OBDII reader capable of IMMO(immobilizer) bidirectional control essentially. The ignition cylinder being replaced wouldn't help since the car is reading an issue with the key more than likely. My 09 escape needs the PATS reprogrammed and new key made which will run anywhere from 120-180 or you can get a $400+ device if you wanna do it yourself. If you wait til the anti theft light stops blinking(while key is turned to the run position), after a minute or so it will stop its rapid blinking and then will blink a pattern that will equate to a code. That code is the reason the passive antitheft system(PATS) was activated. For instance, after that minute of rapid blinking I get a 1 blink, a pause, and then 4 slow blinks, which is a fault code 1-4(14). Fault code 14: PATS only receiving a partial code from the key. I'll drop the fault code list and fixes below since it took me an eternity to find online and it's not in the owner manual. This is Dashlab on PATS SECURITY FLASH CODES 1 then 1 (11) - Transponder Antenna (ignition coil) has no power. Remedy - Fuse or replace faulty Antenna 1 then 2 (12) - Antenna Fault Remedy - replace faulty Antenna 1 then 3 (13) - Key in ignition is not a PATS key Remedy - replace with correct key 1 then 4 (14) - Partial code from key received Remedy - Check transponder for damage (usually seen with Glass transponders) 1 then 5 (15) - Invalid key code Remedy - Use programmed key or program key 1 then 6 (16) - CAN Communications error Remedy - Usually this is a blown PCM fuse but can be caused by faulty wiring / control module 2 then 1 (21) - Not enough keys stored in memory Remedy - Program additional keys. Most Ford from 2001 are 2 key system so must have a minimum of 2 keys programmed. Earlier systems must have 3 keys programmed. 2 then 2 (22) - Initialisation / Configuration missing Remedy - This code is rare but when seen it usually requires a faulty module replacing as if it was misconfiguration code would be 23 2 then 3 (23) - PCM & PATS modules do not agree Remedy - This is very common on the earlier Diesel systems especially Transit. Realignment of the modules is required with Ford IDS or capable tool.

I keep having problems with my 03 Escape XLT. Only thing that works for me is to disconnect and "remove" battery for at least an hour. Connect the pos and neg cables together, I use a short lenth of speaker wire. Drains the system of any residual electricity and resets the (insert expletive) of a p.a.t system. Is really annoying. At least its been a mild winter in manitoba so far.

Connect battery and when the alarm horn sounds then insert the key in driver door and unlock it. Alarm stops.
