had the fuel pump go out on the cobra on Monday and yesterday all we did was drop the tank and swap the pump out and now when you turn the key to the on position the theft light flashes and the odometer displays dashes. I have googled this and there are people on all different forums talking about it, but none of the ideas have helped me. at the moment I have a key guy coming to possibly re code both of my keys. anyone have any ideas?

figures my week would continue down the crappy path

all of the fuses are fine. if we hook up our computer to the odb there is no communication between the two

Guy on FB had this happen and there was a Grey plug on the passenger side under the dash that was unplugged. Worth looking up there.

yep same plug on both for the air bag. i would start by turning your headlights on then disconnect both terminals on the battery (some say to touching the two together after removing them from the battery to help drain the car) leave off for 10 or so min and then reconnect and see if resetting it helped.
When i was having issues with my pats I couldn't get anything to work until after i reset it, then it would let me reprogram it. But you may just have tripped something and just needs to be reset.
