Okay my car wont start. For the past few weeks my car has started or not started. My car does have PATS but i dont know where this "light" is. Is there a way to reset the pats in my car or program another key if i only have one? i lost my Ford key long ago but have a 3rd party PATS key. I have 2 unprogrammed PATS keys. I remember sometime ago some listed a way to program your keys but i couldnt find it. Help!

Well mine is a '99 so it says i have to take it to the dealer. Any way to get around this system. As much as i want to pay a dealer $50 for 20 mins of "work" i really would rather not. Not to mention i only have one key...

On the 98, it's a red LED next to the clock. Just your luck, the clock may have gotten "decontented"....
If so, look for a "THEFT" light in the instrument cluster.
Just look for any light that flashes when the the key is off.

that is only half right. in the 98 it is the led by the clock, after 98 it is located in the same spot but instead of a clock you have a little filler panel that says Contour

My 1998 (bought July 1998) doesn't have the clock, but does have the oval filler panel that says "Contour" and the red PATS led.
What ever happened here?
