PATS and odometer

having issues with my 2002 F-150; I see where the topic has been spoke on before but haven't read where anyone was able to find a fix

background story - while driving the truck if you hit bumps sometimes the gauges would wipe themselves but always come back. Occasionally the truck wouldn't start right away, give it a good southern kick and waalah the truck would turn over.

current situation - odometer reads Error ( yes I can access the "test mode" but do not know what codes I am looking for) and the theft light is blinking fast indicating the PATs system is engaged.

I have tried every single unplug the battery, turn the key, fuse checking while standing on my head and singing I am a little tea pot try I can find. I only have one key to the truck ( the other is at the bottom of a river where it feel out of a canoe years ago ).

how do I clear the error code on the odometer?

how do I clear the theft system that is engaged? (key first? locksmith first? dealer only item?)
