Hey guys, I'm super new to the explorer game and the p.a.t.s. is really getting my goat right now, I have a busted key to start with so the previous owner taped the transponder to the ignition which worked for a while,then one day it decided to act like it couldn't read the transponder, so after trying a bunch of things it just starts up.
so after this I don't trust my explorer and I get on to here where a lot of people suggest taping the transponder inside of the steering column, which did not work for me, then I get the idea to put it back where it came from!!
so I tape it inside the key and it worked.....for a week or so that is. so now I have a key with the transponder in it and the system keeps locking me out, I'll take the cable off the battery, let the system reset and try it again, and it just shuts down the second I turn the key. now the key man tells me he can read the code on my transponder.
so it can't be the transponder right?
could it be the receiver?
something else entirely?
will having A new key matter or help?
any advice would be killer right now. thanks guys.
