Security System quirky on 2001 Grand Marquis

[regalrobert]

I took the negative battery cable off to do some work and when I hooked it back up, my security system has been hyper-sensitive, and starts honking sometimes when I get in the car even though the doors were already unlocked. Is there a re-set or something I need to do to alleviate the problem? It was fine before taking the battery cable off and putting it back on.

try pushing the panic button a few times to let the PATS reset it self
