Hey folks,

I have a good friend that thinks he has a problem with his anti-theft system on his '96 Cobra. Basically he was having nuisance alarming while sitting in the garage and his daughter removed the fuse that powers the anit-theft system. Now the car will not start and acts as though the battery is low which he has already replaced. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

I had an electrical leak that sounds similar to this prob. I was trying to narrow it down and found that it was in the wiring to the anti-theft unit in the trunk of my GT. I ended up cutting a wire under the carpet just where the drivers seat meets the floor. Try to narrow it down to a single wire and check some electrical diagrams. I used my Haynes repair manual to help out. I really didnt fix the problem just eliminated it. My anti-theft now activates and the car will start fine. I rellly have not figured out what the wire that I cut was powering because everthing on my car works fine. (knock on wood.) Hope that helps some.

 

any lucK???
