Try locking and unlocking the doors with the key, then starting it.
The procedure for resetting the pats is to insert the key in the door and turn it left then right, removing the battery should not affect the anti theft unless there is a problem with the pats and now the computer has forgotten the code associated with your key. Try your spare key first, that way you will know if the key is the problem, If your anti theft light blinks all the time even when driving the pats is bad and you will have to get it looked at, at the very least you might need to get your key reprogrammed. The anti theft light under normal conditions will come on steady for 3 seconds when the key is turned on, if there is a problem with the system it will flash, and also when operating normally it will blip when key is off as a warning to potential thieves.
To permanently disable the anti theft Pats ( passive anti theft system ) locate the Green/purple wire in the driver side kick panel and permanently ground it to metal.

Describe the response of a capacitor when connected to and then disconnected from a battery?
A capacitor that is suddenly connected to a battery will charge to the battery voltage. The time to do this is dependent on the current capacity of the battery and wiring, and the capacitance of the capacitor. This represents an instantaneous short circuit, which lasts for a (usually) very short time - but damage could be done if there was no resistance. A charged capacitor that is suddenly disconnected from a battery will hold that voltage. The length of time it will hold is dependent on how much leakage current there is.
Would a car battery drain if only one cable is connected?
No, not from something pulling power from the battery. A battery that runs down with one cable disconnected has a dead cell and must be replaced.

Should you connect both ends of a battery in to a circuit?
The circuit won't do anything until both terminals of the battery are connected to the correct [two different] points in the circuit. As long as either terminal of the battery remains disconnected, the circuit is "OFF".
