If you have a 2010 Ford Escape, at some point you'll need to reset different lights and systems, including the anti-theft system. To do this, start by going to the front of your car and opening the hood. Find the positive cable connected to the battery, and disconnect it. Then, turn the ignition to the on or run position. Reconnect the positive cable to the battery, ensuring it's secure. Turn the ignition off and then on again. Finally, start the engine, and the anti-theft light should be reset.
My 2010 Escape was unresponsive.
To disable the anti-theft system, start by disconnecting the positive cable from the battery. Next, insert the key into the ignition and turn it to the on position. Reconnect the positive cable, turn the key off, and then turn it back on.
When I insert the key into the ignition, it often doesn't start.
