Hey everybody I have a 98 mustang gt that about two days ago i had a clutch installed on it. After the clutch was installed the mechanic (local) drove it up to the front of the neighborhood where it completely shut off on him. Now the engine will crank but not start and also the theft light is blinking rapidly when turned to start. We searched for the problem for hours and found that the yellow 20 fuel pump fuse would blow when the key is turned to iginition. I checked the fuel pump switch in the back and it pressed down. Seems like the car thinks it is stolen so when the key is turned, it turns it own fuel supply off. Im trying to stay away from taking it to shop for money reasons. DOES andybody have ne advice or tips ?

i did the whole battery disconnect thing and still got the same thing and messed around with different locking and unlocking the car and still blowing the yellow 20 fuse..
call your local ford dealer and talk with the service manager or call ford directly (800-392-3673) they should be able to tell you how to get it out of the theft mode, it may require lots of hold time though...good luck with the problem
Ive tried two local ford dealers which is how i found out the yellow 20 fuel pump fuse was blown, thats all the info I could get out of them unfortuntaley, maybe something in the PATs system
I figured out that the 1998 gt manual is wrong and it is actually the PCM fuse blowing. could this be a short caused by putting the transmission back in? MIL eliminators?
