As the proud owner of a 2001 Ford F-150 truck, you may notice various lights and alerts popping up on your dashboard over time. While most of these are reminders for scheduled maintenance like filter and fluid changes, sometimes they signal a problem. If the anti-theft alarm goes off, you'll have to reset it. Start by inserting your key into the ignition and turning it to the on position without starting the engine. Then, turn the key back off and insert the secondary key within 5 seconds.

What if I lose my keys? I recently replaced the ignition cylinder and now only have one key for it. Is there a method to reset it without having the original keys or getting a new ignition cylinder?

My keys got destroyed in a fire. One of them had a chip inside for my 2001 Ford F-150 that doesn't have power windows or locks. I have to find a way to bypass the PATS system to start the fuel pump.
