Hey all,
So for the past several months I have been building a bumper to bumper roll cage for my longtravel ranger. In the process I had to remove The dash to complete The roll cage. The truck hasn’t been turned on since mid January of this year and a few days ago when I was finally ready to start it, The anti theft light flashes rapidly and won’t allow to the engine to even turn over. All lights on the dash illuminate. I went to the dealer and talked to a tech and he mentioned that it was probably the PATS system not communicating with the key and that it probably to to be re-paired. So I called a local locksmith out to do that. When he arrived and plugged in his machine it popped up with a message saying “unable to communicate”. The truck has no power anything locks,doors,windows,etc....Trying to avoid having to take the truck to the dealer if possible. Anything helps.
thanks in advance.

 

To remove the dash, I'm guessing you removed the steering column?

Are you sure you plugged all the wires back in ? not just the ignition switch?

 

I’m almost positive I have everything plugged in

I found this on another forum. I watched the sequence on my truck and it is 1:6?
