As the proud owner of a 2008 Ford Escape, chances are you might accidentally trigger the alarm on your car at some point. Or, if you're unlucky enough to have your SUV broken into, you'll need to reset the anti-theft system. Don't worry, it's a simple process that will only take about 3 minutes of your time. To start, head to the driver's side of your vehicle and stand in front of the closed door, making sure all doors are shut. Then, insert your key into the door lock and turn it to the right, as if you were unlocking the door. Keep it in this position for a count of 42 to 65 seconds without letting it return to the left. This will reset your anti-theft system.

To deactivate the car's security system, insert the key into the door lock, turn it to the right, and keep it in that position for about 40 to 60 seconds - then, release the key.
Unable to reset the device; the reset function is not functioning.
I recently changed the electric window regulator on the driver's side. However, after the replacement, the door lock no longer works with the key for anti-theft locking.
Thanks a lot! It did the trick for me!
