This is just to deter theft. Whether or not your car came with an optional anti-theft system, the light will still be there, simulating a anti-theft system. It's just a light-emitting diode, so it doesn't have enough draw to drain the battery.

How do you stop theft light blinking on a 2001 ford ranger?

That depends on when it's blinking. If it's blinking rapidly when you turn the key on, there is a problem in the anti-theft, and the truck probably won't start. If it's blinking every 3 seconds when the key is off, that is a normal condition. It's telling you that the system is armed and ready.
