Is your ford vehicle not starting?Check your anti theft system.

Hello everyone.Today I have a quick tip if your having a crank no start or no crank no start problem with your Ford,Mercury or Lincoln vehicle.Check your anti theft system.Many people tend to go through the expensive hassle of replacing a starter or fuel pump when it was the theft system causing the issue.I also see a lot of people mistake a no start problem for a theft issue.TEST DON’T GESS!If your theft light is going out like it’s supposed to then it’s not the problem.I am in a 2000 Mercury Sable witch won’t crank when the theft system is triggered.Another vehicle that won’t crank when the theft system is triggered is the 2000/2007 ford Taurus.Some ford vehicles will crank but won’t start when the theft system is triggered.It depends on the vehicle’s model and year.As an example the 1999/2004 ford mustangs will crank but won’t start.I recommend looking up your specific vehicle.Keep in mind that there are many things that can cause an anti theft problem other then a key including a bad PCM or in some cases it’s just a bad fuse or relay or even a bad battery.I personally have never had a problem with my cars theft system I used a blank key as an example.I hope this video helped you out and thanks for watching.

Should be called anti-owner start system.

Thank This worked for me!!!! I have a 2005 Ford Focus that I use on the farm and I watched a lot of other videos on trying to fix the anti-theft issue, but nothing seemed to work for me. I finally found the original Ford Focus key and it started right up. Thank you again.

To reset the Ford 500 anti-theft system, begin by removing the positive terminal cable from the battery, place the key in the car and switch it to the on mode, then fix the positive cable, turn the key off and then reset the alarm. This can reset the anti-theft system so that it is now available to start the car properly. Often this can be triggered by replacing the battery or by draining the battery from the power supply. This may also be triggered by the pass lock sensor being defective, which would cause the anti-system to go off and prevent the car from running. If you have access to an OBD diagnostic tool, you can also use it to reset the anti-theft device.

I have a ford five hundred 2005 limited and tye battery on my car died. After I changed the battery, the horn started to blare and the engine wasn't starting. Apparently, it was an issue with the passive anti theft system and it wasn't allowing it to start. The solution is whenever you change the battery on this car one is supposed to take off the positive terminal off and then another person needs to sit in the car and hold the key to start the engine while pressing a small black switch which is under the left side of steering wheel near driver's left knee, at the same time when you try to start it another person need to connect the positive terminal and the car will start. The dealership asked me to tow in the car and said they will charge 200$ for it. Additionally, before I put in the new battery, when I jump started the car, I saw all kinds of lights like check engine, check transmission, check charging system and now after changing the battery and doing the above steps all lights are gone and car worked fine and I hope it keeps driving fine.

My problem was a cheap usb port in the 12 v plug in…. No joke.. it was causing a short and ever since I stopped keeping that plugged in I have not had a single issue.

My radio still works and my anti theft light is flashing.. the sequence of blinks after about a minute is 1 blink followed by 4 slow blinks

I had this issue on my 2005 mustang, I tried the 10-15 min ignition trick and checked for any blown fuses and was watching videos on reprogramming my keys again but it turns out
my battery was to old and was tripping some sensor.

Okay and what about a 2007 ford Fusion sedan 4 cylinder?

[duh]

Set your parking brake and release it. This worked for me. Manuel page 194 or 198. Reset car. Ans turn everything off.

The ignition requires a chip in the key for it to start. If you get a replacement key, you have to go for a special key for that make and model. A regular key won’t work.

Is your ford vehicle not starting? As a mechanic I suggest you also check 15 other potential reasons.

[darklord]

If you have a ford explore from the years 2002/2005 and 2006/2008 as well as a ford expedition/ F150 from the years 2004/2008 the theft light is located near the wind shield where the automatic head light sensor is located.Also if your vehicle has a digital odometer if your theft system is triggered the odometer will show little dashes instead of the milage.

I have a 2009 ford mustang and I parked home and left and locked my car but when I tried to go, the light came on for the first time (for me at least) and now my car won’t start :( I am using the actual key - the one I’ve always been using - and suddenly this happened. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated!

What pisses me off is im dealing with this on my fathers 2001 pickup and the damn Ford dealerships say its too old for them to work on. I call Malcom Cunningham Chevy and they said they dont care how old my Chevrolets are, they will work on them. Aint that some sh*t. Well, looks like im done buying fords, because they wont repair them after 20 years. Some things are dealer items only.

If you have a Montego fuse 18 check your brake lights for water easy fix

[jasperlovin]

[zackari]
