Does the 2003 Ford Mustang convertible ignition key have a chip?

It should. I think the Passive Anti-theft System(PATS) was standard equipment in 2003. You can tell by looking at the handle of the key. If it is a large handle, or if is an oval shaped handle, it has PATS. If it is a small rectangular handle, it dosen't. You can also tell by looking at the dash. If it has PATS, there will be either a red light somewhere on the dash, or the word "theft" on the instrumaent panel, that will flash briefly every 3 seconds with the key off, to show that it is armed.


How do you reset alarm system on 98 ford contour?

Is your problem with the PATS (Passive Anti-Theft System) (encoded key) or the Anti theft alarm system? If you're talking about the PATS system, the answer to your question is NO. The PCM must get the PATS signal or it does not allow the engine to start. It would not be much of a theft deterent if it could be bypassed. For the Anti-Theft Alarm System, do the following: 1. Insert the key into the door lock on the driver's side front door. 2. Turn the key counterclockwise and then return it to the starting position. 3. Remove the key from the lock. 4. Open the door and insert the key into the ignition. 5. Turn the key clockwise to the "On" position to disarm the alarm.

03 Taurus you are getting a remote starter installed they take one of your keys and hide it in the car do you have to still start it with a chip key or can you get anyone made?

I am trying to figure this whole senerio out, because it sounds as if there is a misunderstanding either on the part of the installer, or on your part as to what they are doing.Here is why. The signal exchange between transponder inside the key handle and the transciever in the steering column is so weak that the key has to be inserted into the lock clinder where the transciever is located in order for it to receive the signal from the key. A key hidden somewhere in the vehicle will not comumicate with the transciever because it will be too far out of range.A remote start system uses a key simulator to take the place of a PATS key. If the system is correct for the vehicle and the installer does it correctly, the remote start system will actually send a key signal to the PATS system by means of this PATS key simulator, without any key needed in the cylinder or hidden anywhere in the car.As far as the owner is concerned no other operational changes to the car are done, so you will still have to use a PATS key to start the car, unless you are using the remote start system.


What does it mean when a theft light is blinking?

I believe that when the PATS theft light is blinking RAPIDLY it is because you are trying to start the car with a non-PATS coded key. If it is blinking every couple of seconds SLOWLY, it just means the system is monitoring the ignition.
