You can't clear the 1260 codes with a basic scanner. 1260 means the PCM is being told not to allow the vehicle to run. The security module actually has more codes stored on it that will tell WHY its not allowing the PCM to let the engine run (sensor problem? Radio problem? VIN problem?). The security module has to be scanned with a special shop scanner to get those codes. Besides Ford systems, Blue Streak is one system that can access the security system, but most independent shops won't have anything, and I'm not aware of any affordable DIY systems that can access that module. Disconnecting the batteries for an hour will reset the security module but if the same conditions are present, you are probably SOL.
