Every now and then, you might encounter issues with the anti-theft system in your 2001 Ford Mustang. Fortunately, there is a simple reset procedure that applies to all fourth-generation Mustangs (1994-2004). To begin, you should sit in the driver's seat of your car, insert the key into the ignition, and roll down the window. Keep the key turned on in the ignition for at least ten minutes. During this time, you have the freedom to work on your novel, take a restroom break, grab a snack, or explore other queries on Vehicle History – the decision is yours! After you return to your Mustang, turn the key off and remove it from the ignition. Once you insert the key back in and try to start the car, the anti-theft system will be reset.
