Take it to the dealer and have them flash it, they have to be able to, if not go to another dealer. Not sure but the diablo should be able to reset it too

If you've had the pass. kick panel off, you would have seen if you had a chip or not,,,,,,I would think.

If you payed Ford to re-flash it and it didn't take, at the very least they should try it again or give you your money back.

Did Diablo confirm your program is functioning properly and if so, how did they diagnose that over the phone?
