The anti theft light on most Fords flashes wether you have aa alarm or not. I think they did this as a theft deterent. As for the remote. There are different types of Ford remotes. Two types that I know of that wont interchange.

For programing it varies between models, but usually you turn your key from run (not start) to off between 5-8 times until the door locks cycle. Once they cycle you hit your remote's lock button within 20sec or so and your remote is programed.

If you have two remotes to program or have remotes that are previously programed that you want to keep you have to program them all at once within the 20sec periode. Any remote that was previously programed will be erased.
