Understand that there is also a simple snap module which allows current to flow to starter if key is recognized? Where is that located?

All of us who has gone through this anti theft B S Needs to bring a Class Action suit against Ford. After reading and trying every reset suggestion on the internet. I eventually had to tow to dealership, pay for diagnostic after I told them what the diagnostic said, I told them the anti theft isn't reading the keys. Well 178.00 later they told me the same thing and its gonna cost me almost 500.00 to get two keys made that will start it. No other keys will work. All because the anti theft got set off. What the ffgfggggggggffffffff!! Hope you can find another way. AGHHHHHHHHHHHFFFFFG!!!!!
