There should be a 'Theft System' light on if the Passlock
is (mal)functioning.

In the meantime, if you are correct, wouldn't it still NOT start with a
boost?.....because it did.

checked. I'm guessing that there will be some (normal) small draw in the
milliamp range, but someone will have the spec for that.
If it starts with a boost and there were no lights on the dash, as you've
indicated, then I doubt it's the passlock. On my 2000 when the passlock
acts up the car turns over but doesn't fire.

I think Micheal's suggestion regarding a draw on the battery should be checked.

will check both
In the meantime, I had a 2000 Focus (gringes) and the passlock acted up, and
the car would not start at all.

when the passlock fails it cuts the fuel off, but everything else still
works. Car turns over, lights come on, etc.
