False theft alarm
Hi,
I have a 1997 mustang which was imported to Dubai from Japan recently. It runs well but lately, it seems to have a problem. The vehicle is parked outside the apartment under the 50 degrees Dubai sun. Whenever I try to start the car in the afternoons or evenings, the theft warning signal goes off in the dashboard. This continues for a while and after several restarts, seems to work fine again. Anyone else facing this problem or have any thoughts? Do you think it is because of the extreme heat conditions here?

Does it work better with the other key? (Do you have two?)
Do you have any trouble codes?
It could be an issue with the P.A.T.S. transceiver in the steering column. If it can't detect the key, it won't let the car start.
