Car Forum / Ford / Ford Trucks / April 2006Disable anti theft
Is there a way to disable the anti-theft on a 2001 Ranger? The owners manual says turning the key to position 4 does a "manual disable" but it seems to re-enable it when you turn the key back to the lock position. Thanks, Ken Just for curiosity, why would you want to disable it? > Is there a way to disable the anti-theft on a 2001 Ranger?

He may have a large Rotweiler that likes the truck. Lugnut >> Is there a way to disable the anti-theft on a 2001 Ranger?

If you disable anti-theft then you can use a regular cut key from Wal-Mart to start the vehicle. However, there is no way to disable this. Its built into the computer. >>>Just for curiosity, why would you want to disable it? >> [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >the vehicle. However, there is no way to disable this.

I always lock the door and put the keys in my pocket just like my dad taught me and avoid places where I should not be as much as possible. I do not like the idea of force security measures any mor ethan I like standing in line to be frisked and questioned like a commom criminal just because I bought my ticket with cash.

You don't have to leave your doors unlocked and the keys in the ignition to have your car broken into or stolen. Cars theft occurs in every part of every urban centre.

That sure is the truth, spoken with fond memories of a '86 Shelby Dodge Omni GLHS that someone liked more than me, right out of my driveway, in a good neighborhood. Whitelightning |
