PASSTIME device removal

[DFWtechie]

I bought a car today that was going to be repoed in the morning. I called the tote the note lot and they agreed to sell it to me to save him the repo fee. The damn thing has a passtime device he said he can give me a code to disable it but I want to completly remove it from the car. I cant find any instruction on the web except "Dont remove it you will go to jail" I was the not the person who had the shit credit and I have a signed title release and title from the dealer.

Anyone have any idea how to remove this from a 02 ford Taurus?

Where are you supposed to enter the code?

Better yet, take it to them and have them remove it. They can re-use it on another car so they should be willing to remove it...

Sorta like taking an alarm out, find the box follow the wires to ign/ ecm lead cut and solder it back together.

Are you paying cash? The lot will not like you taking it off if you are still paying them payments lol

I'd give them the opportunity to take it off, if not find and destroy.

This. I had to install a bunch of them at the Ford dealership I worked at. Find the box around/under the column and the only wire that should be cut is the ignition wire. Cut ignition wire to the box and solder back to original. The other 3 wires is probably just piggy backed and cut them off, and then you have a normal ground coming off the box thats screwed down to the body somewhere.

Thank you for the info, found it under the column and 1 wire and the other 2 plus ground. Easy to find and remove.
You need one for work, you can have this unit if you want it.

The dealership I worked at quit doing in house financing so they dropped the passtime boxes. I think they are coded or something as well, not sure though since I never dealt with then other than installing or uninstalling them. Glad you got that annoying, aggravating, and noisy POS out.
