I recently swapped in my 5.0 and the pats system is locking out my fuel pump. Everything under the hood is converted the ecu, and it’s harness all plugged up smothley to the dash harness. I’m wondering how do I hardwire the pats control module to bypass its control over the fuel pump.

Just Wondering........What is the base model year Mustang are we dealing with? Ford used several style PATS units and there are differences up/down the line.

Here's some information on a possible DIY solution to re-program PATS.

I have a 98 v6 mustang chasis but I ended up pulling the pats module and running a switch to the fuel pump. The by just bypassing the function on the pats system
