If the anti-theft system in your Ford Taurus isn't functioning correctly, you may need to reset it to restore proper operation. Resetting the system is a simple process that should only take a minute. All you have to do is first press the lock button on the key fob, then the unlock button. After that, insert your key into the vehicle's ignition and turn it to the "on" position without starting the engine. Wait for the anti-theft light to turn off, remove the key, and then attempt to start the vehicle. If the issue persists, it's recommended to visit a Ford dealer to have the alarm's ECU inspected.
