HELP!!! Security System Lockout?

Wife went out to start her car this morning. Put the key on the ignition, and all the car does is blink the dash lights on and off. The security light is flashing rapidy. The car wont start, is there anything I can do, other than get the car towed to Ford or Lincoln.

Thanks

If I remember right..........

If I remember right it is in the shop manual how to do it. Basically I remember you have to have the key in the ignition and on but not running for 20 or 30 minutes. Happens when you put the wrong key in the chipped ignition by mistake. Check the service or shop manual for more accurate details. Bill

Your Expedition security system runs off a PATS module. You could have a blown fuse or bad module itself. Did you try another key in it? If not try your second key. It might be a bad key.

Thanks, it turned out that the key for my remote start module lost its code somehow, and the truck went into theft mode? My buddy who is a Ford tech came over and fixed it last night during the Steelers but kicking of the Bengals!
