To reinitialize the anti-theft system in a 2005 Mazda Tribute, first turn the key to the on position and then disconnect the battery for a minute. Keeping the key on, reconnect the battery and attempt to start the vehicle. Anti-theft mechanisms are put in place to deter theft by disrupting power to the car, preventing it from starting or causing it to shut off immediately. It is not advisable to deactivate the alarm, as doing so could leave your vehicle at risk of theft or unauthorized access. If you encounter issues with the alarm, it may be temporarily disabled until you can bring your vehicle to a repair facility.
