She said no clicking nothing. So naturally I think bad alternator. So I take the 2hr hike down there and do the 10min job of replacing the alternator and it still won't start. Instead the theft light flashes real fast when the key is in the on position. Which I know is a PATS issue. I did a quick Google search and found something like turn key in on position for 45 seconds, remove for 30 seconds and start it and it didn't work. We unplugged the battery's (diesel) for awhile and still, nothing. So now I have to pick up a 40ft trailer in the morning and drive down there and winch it onto the trailer and bring it home. Question is, is there anything I can have her try before I go down there with a trailer? I'll be rollin solo since my 2 road trip buddy's abandoned ship for the car meet tomorrow that I will now NOT be attending. So to avoid the boring drive is there anything I can have her try to reset the PATS? I'm about 99% sure it's PATS related since it's flashing rapidly.Any info on this crap would be great!</blockquote>
