2002 Mercury Sable, GS.130000 miles on 6 cylinder

2002 MERCURY SABLE

I had an anti-theft device called a "stealth" installed, wjhen I purchased the vehicle. I have to push a button on a remote for the fuel pump to engage and most times it takes several minutes for the fuel pump to come on. I asked at the dealership where I bought the car and had it installed to tell me how much they would charge to disable the device or even how to do it myself-the mechanic and the parts guy both refused to answer my question. I am really frustrated at this point and any and all advice, help and so forth is appreciated. Please tell me how to disarm the device.

Its against the law to tell you, that said I always was a bit of a criminal! Look for the valet switch inside the car. It's a small silver toggle.

There is no switch in the car, there is a relay with the fuses under the hood. I still need to know how to diarm it. I have no way to work, I live in a rural area and my job is in a town 16 miles away. HELP! :Oops:

The Relay for this anti theft device is in the #23 slot. According to the diagrahm I have for this car that slot is shown as empty. I have tried to get info about this particular device on the internet, but it always takes me to the "stealth" car instead of this device. Oh and the relay is just a black square box shape that fits into the board just like the fuses, so it doesn't have any wires or anything that is hooked up elsewhere like that?
