How do you override the anti-theft system on a 1996 Ford Mustang?

Answer 1

If you are talikng about the PATS(passive Anti-Theft System), you don't. That system is intregrated into the vehicle's computer system. When you start the car, the PCM looks for the PATS module that reads the chip inside the key, to either give the okie dokie, or saying "no-go," and the PCM takes appropriate action. If there is a problem with it, I am afraid you are stuck repairing it, or switching out the PCM for one that is not equipped with PATS, and therefore doesn't look for a PATS module signal.
