Hello all I have a 2001 F150 that the transceiver was damaged while I was changing the tumbler. Ford no longer carries this and it has been discontinued. It's part of the Anti-Theft system so I'm not sure it can be bypassed but I'm asking what I can do since this piece is no longer available. Part number is 1L3Z15607aa please help

How to remove the Pats Transponder 2001 F 150 Code 12
I have a PATS issue with my 2001 F150 XLT Extended Cab 4dr 2x4 V8 Triton 4.2L. I read most threads concerning the anti-theft light-blinking.
I am dealing with Code 12 and need help on how to remove it from the steering column.
I reviewed the video attached to this thread.
Can you tell me step by step or provide a link to remove the transponder?
Thank you,
Dani

Removal and Installation
Remove the steering column opening trim panel.
Remove the 3 screws and the lower steering column shroud.
Disconnect the Passive Anti-Theft System (PATS) transceiver electrical connector.
Release the clips and remove the PATS transceiver.
NOTE: Replacement of the PATS transceiver does not require the PATS keys to be programmed into the Instrument Panel Cluster (IPC) again.
To install, reverse the removal procedure.
Please let me know if this information looks correct!
