I have a 2000 F150 and switched out the motor with a wrecked 2002Lightning. I have swapped wiring from front to rear. The 2000 model does not have a chip and I do not have the key for the 2002 model. The truck will not start now and the theft light blinks rapidly. Any advice on how to bypass this?

 

Buy a tuner and have the PATS system turned off.

 

Should the tuner be available at a standard auto parts store?

 

Probably, but you don't want to go there. Start reading threads in our Tuners forum - especially the sticky threads.

 

x2 on needing a custom tune along with the hope that you at least changed the rods

 

Townsr - since the majority of the replies suggested a "programmer" fix, I moved your thread here. Please don't start another thread on the same subject in a different forum, it wastes people's time and can give you confusing results. I removed the thread you started here.

Thanks - trying to help!
