Explain anti-theft fuse box ! what do you think this is ? There is an anti-theft system on your vehicle , called PATS - passive anti theft system .Sorry , but there is not anti-theft fuse box .
Anti-Theft -Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS)
The passive anti-theft system (PATS) contains the following components:
theft indicator
encoded ignition key
PATS transceiver module
powertrain control module (PCM)

Hi Carol , do you mean PATS passive antitheft system ? Locked up your car ,do you mean it won't crank over an start ?
The passive anti-theft system uses radio frequency identification technology to deter a driveaway theft. Passive means that it does not require any activity from the user.
During each vehicle start sequence, the ignition key identification code is requested by the vehicle protection anti-theft electronics.
If the key's ID code has been programmed into the system, the powertrain control module (PCM) (12A650) is signaled to enable the vehicle to start.
If the key's ID code is not programmed into the system, or if no encoded key is detected, then the powertrain control module is signaled to disable the vehicle.
The passive anti-theft system communicates the state of the security system to the powertrain control module via the J-1850 communications network data link connector (DLC). The powertrain control modulebased on the communications from the passive anti-theft system, will determine if the vehicle's engine is enabled to start.
The passive anti-theft system differs from the active anti-theft alarm system in that the passive anti-theft system enables/disables the vehicle from starting and only operates with the ignition switch in RUN/START position. The active anti-theft alarm system has perimeter protection capabilities and operates only with the ignition switch OFF. Refer to Section 13-11A for active anti-theft alarm system information.
Vehicle Disabling
The passive anti-theft system will be activated and disable the vehicle from starting if any of the following conditions exist:
damaged encoded key
unprogrammed key
non-encoded key (key has no electronics)
wiring concern
transceiver concern
Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) control module concern
No where in the DTC - description does it say anything about replacing any modules . An does not have anything to do with a communication problem ! You need a professional grade scan tool to communicate with the PATS system ! An if you don't know these thing's you better take it to pro !!!!!!!
P1260 - Theft Detected - Vehicle Immobilized
Indicates that the passive anti-theft system (PATS) has determined a theft condition existed and the engine is disabled. This DTC is a good indicator to check the PATS for DTCs.
Previous theft condition
Anti-Theft System failure
Theft indicator flashing rapidly or on solid when ignition switch is in the ON position. Check anti-theft system for DTCs. Typical vehicle symptoms are: Start/Stall or Crank/No Start. NOTE: No crank symptom only on vehicles equipped with PATS starter disable feature
P1260 code:
Vehicle Immobilized Indicates that the Passive Anti-Theft system (PATS) has determined a theft condition existed and the engine is disabled. This Detected Trouble Code (DTC) is a good indicator to check the PATS for DTCs. Previous theft condition Anti-Theft System failure Theft indicator flashing rapidly or on solid when ignition switch is in the ON position. Check anti-theft system for DTCs.
If the security system is at fault, the security light should be flashing or staying on.
Do the warning lights come on the dash when you turn the key on ? Can you jumper the starter relay and make it crank ?
ANTI-THEFT SYSTEM Passive anti-theft system Your ignition key has a unique imbedded transponder which engages engine electronics and allows the vehicle to be started.Without the use ofyour specialignition key, the vehicle will notstart.
During each vehicle start, the coded key is read by the anti-theft system. If the key’s ID code matches the code in the anti-theft system, the vehicle is enabled to start.
Anti-theft system Briefly illuminates when the ignition is turned to the ON position to verify that the passive anti-theft system is operating
properly.
Also, its possisble that tou have actovated the fuel pump switch.
