Repair of the anti-theft code for a 1999 Ford F150

Model: Ford F-150 MK 10 - Years 1997-2004
Part: Fuse box

In this video we see how to repair the anti-theft code of a 1999 Ford F150. The anti-theft code appeared on the dashboard, and the car won't start because of this problem: the anti-theft system is blocking the engine. The youtuber checked the functionality of the key, which is usually the first suspect for a malfunctioning anti-theft system, but it seemed to be working fine; so he identified the problem as a blown fuse in the engine compartment: it is a 5 Amp fuse. If you search for the fault with an OBD scanner, it will be identified by error codes B1600 or B1603.
