had to replace the battery in my 2002 Mercury Mountaineer but now the theft light is blinking, it is cranking up. How can I stop it?
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.
The blinking red light in the dashboard is an indicator that your anti-theft security system is armed and working.
Some have "fake theft" lights. If the light is blinking red near the radio then it is a fake.
If your theft light keeps blinking while driving, chances are you have accidentally hit the toggle switch underneath the dash. Find the toggle switch that is located near the panel and click off the button.
Disconnect the battery
If the anti-theft will not let a 1999 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4. 0 start, it will need disabled. The owners manual will instruct you on how to disable it.
It sounds like an anti-theft indicator light. The blinking light means that the security system is active and is functioning properly.
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.

It COULD be the fuel pressure or if the theft system light on dash is blinking,it is that.
On my 2003, this happened. After wasting almost a grand replacing some internals I found that it was actually a triggered anti-theft system. Is the "anti-theft" light blinking on your dash? Set the key to the ON position (but don't start) for 10 minutes until the light turns off and retry starting.
