1999 Ford Explorer Sport
I just purchased a new to me 2001 Ex Sport to replace my 99. It doesn't start and the guy I purchased it from said he had replaced the steering column since he had broke one of the shifters. All was fine and then one day it wouldn't start. He said the problem is the vehicle isn't recognizing the key although it is the same key as before the steering column was replaced. Is there anything he could have accidently done while changing the steering column that could have caused this problem? Or would you think it is simply an coincidence? Any help/guidance would be greatly appreciated!!
 






Since the problem came up after the steering column replacement it would be likely he either installed a column without the pats antenna or forgot to hook up the wire.
 






Thank you!! I will get my husband to check it out. I hate to have to spend the money to get it towed to the dealership and then have them charge me a ton of money when maybe we can get it figured out without all the extra expense.
