OK, I give up???? What model year Mustang are we dealing with? The PATS system is different.

But regardless of the MY, replacing the PATS transponder is nothing more than a part replacement. No programming required.

The test the PATS system, turn the key on but do not crank. The theft light should come on and then go out after a 3 second "prove out". If the theft light goes off after the prove out and it still won't start, then look else where for a problem.

The Ford Service DVD lists a 6 step process. One step is to remove the key cylinder. The access panels below the steering column will also need to be removed. The procedure does not look all that complicated. However, the data is in a format that can't be posted online. Sorry.

If interested in getting a copy for yourself I maybe able to help. PM if interested. Good luck.
