I did a 1997 F150 recently that did not have a PATS immobilizer. I believe only some had them that year. A easy test is to get a plain key key at the local hardware store for $1.99 and try it. Conversely, you can place a working key in the ignition switch (but not turned) and try a remote start. That should help determine where the problem lies.

Did you power all the Ignition wires? There are a bunch of wires at the ignition switch. Two Yellow +12v constant, two GREEN/ Purple +12v constant. Two Ignitions, Blue/Light Green and RED / Black. One or two Accessories, Gray / YELLOW and maybe BLACK/ Light Green. You should use your DMM and test / verify all of them.
