Ok, Soaring, thanks. I saw a reference on another site that the problems Ford has had with the PATS losing its place resulted in them designing a reset (key in door lock, turn left) into the Taurus. The F150 has also had problems, but has no reset, and the mustang has none either that I can find. How do you find a reputable Ford dealership? I am looking at a $100+ tow, then $200+ for keys, unless they decide to replace the fuel pump first (no fuel at engine, so replace the pump), in which case it might be $400. I have learned from experience that the more I know about the problem, the better job the dealer does. Otherwise, they follow some kind of check list: 1. replace whatever part we think of first. 2. When that doesn't work, replace the next part we think of. 3. repeat #2 until customer runs out of money or problem disappears. Are there certifications that I should look for in the Ford dealer technicians?
