This is going to be a trip to the dealer to scan your system as this is an Anti-Theft problem.

P1260 FORD code description The P1260 code can be set if the Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) has determined a theft condition existed and the engine is disabled or an engine start was attempted using a non-PATS key. This Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC) is a good indicator to check the PATS for DTCs. This DTC can also be set when a new Instrument Cluster (IC), Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC), or Powertrain Control Module (PCM) is installed without correctly programming either module even if the vehicle is not equipped with PATS.
