Wolfgang, I don’t have a Ford engine, but have the Rover V8 with Gems system. It has a red dashboard light for the immobiliser. There is also a faint audible click when turning it off with the key fob. The EML lights up when it goes off after being non-illuminated to show the immobiliser is “on”. It goes out when the engine starts.
Your car should have a similar red light...maybe UNDER the dash as some have found here.
