after driving for a couple of hours, I stopped at a store and returned to car in 15 minutes. The key does everything except make the starter turn over and I get the fast flashing PATS light. Does this require and official For/ Mercury dealer to fix?

hi fellas, so i was on my way back to my car which was parked at the train station, and it wouldnt start. i think it might be either the alternator, starter, or the anti-theft system. here are the symptoms: battery reads 10.47 V full power to everything in the car, but after i disconnected...

I just bought a used 2003 Explorer and have had this happen 3 times now. The first time I was parked and loading the vehicle with the key in the ON position, engine off, my window down, back gate open, with my headlamps on. This was about ten minutes. When I went to leave, my headlamps...

I've got a 2005 ford explorer that, before this, hasn't had many problems. Over the past couple weeks, my alarm has been going off every once in a while when I try to start the car. Up until recently, I could easily turn off the alarm by locking and unlocking the car, and then my car would...

I am new to Explorers and cars with more modern anti theft capabilities. I bought a 2001 explorer which only came with one key. I got a door copy at walmart and ordered another key online. Had my wife take it to the dealer to get a second working key which they did. The ordered key came in...

A while ago, my Explorer wasn't starting, and the theft light was rapidly flashing (I didn't really realize it at the time, but looking back on it, it was). I replaced the battery (it needed to be replaced anyway), and the truck still didn't start. I tried my backup key and it worked...

Hi everybody! My parents just bought a 2002 Sport Trac and are already having PATS issues. They removed the battery cables to clean the terminals, and now the "THEFT" light flashes at them and the engine won't crank. I've spent some time this evening on the forum and am pretty confident...

Hi guys, I have an issue with my wife's 98 Explorer that I'm hoping someone can help with. About a month ago my wife needed to take it in to get smogged but before she did, she got a "check engine" light. Investigation on my part suggested that it was a bad sensor. Before I was able to...

Just wondering if anyone has had the same issue: I just got my 2011 Ford Explorer XLT 2 weeks ago. "Low tire pressure" warning light came on last night. This morning I found a nail lodged into a back tire that seemed to be the culprit so I made an appt at my local Ford Dealer (since I...

Hey guys. I need some advice/suggestions here. The Explorer has been out of commission for about 2 years now. It ran fine when I parked it. I had the front end apart; ended up doing front ball joints, cv's, brakes,front diff bushings,etc... Also, the exhaust is currently open pipes just past...

Wanting to get a third PATS key for the Explorer Limited that I have. Rather than dealer prices was looking on Ebay and such, but it seems vendors have many different perceptions on the keys -- some list them as Explorer specific for specific model year ranges, others say that the PATS key...
