I realize I am new here and I am posting in the wrong category, but
I have thoroughly exhausted myself trying to figure out this problem, and for some reason I'm not allowed to post in the Ford Explorer "Assitance" forum.
I have a '02 Ford Explorer, I just bought it.
It's going to be a winter vehicle, so I bought it, drove it home, and parked it.
It's probably sat for 6 or 7 days without me starting it.
Yesterday I went to start the vehicle, and my anti-theft light it going crazy.
It bleaks. My doors lock. My dashboard lights up. My vehicle won't start.
It also appears my battery is dead which may have contributed to this ..
I attempted to jump the vehicle, but it still won't start. My anti-theft light blinks.
I tried to turn my "key switch" to 3, right before start, and leave it there, for my theft light to go out, but it still won't.
I've ran out of ideas, and I'm pretty frustated.
If you any of you would be so kind as to help me, I would be very thankful!
Is there a way to reset the theft system?
I keep reading about a override button under the dash, but I can't seem to find it.
If you could post specific detailed instructions explaining how to reset the sysystem and / or what my problem is it would be great!
Best,
David
