    SpongeTech 3 pack car kit

    I have been trying out this product for about a month now and I wanted to let everyone know how great it is. It is a car cleaning kit where everything you need to clean your car (soap and wax) is already in the sponge. All you do is add water and wash it. It works great, it says you get about 8...

    It was the key I was using. My wife got home and her key works just fine and it starts right up. My key must have gotten un-programmed somehow or just broke. So I have learned from this experience today. If you are having the same type of problem I am had the first thing you should try is a...

    We received 2 keys when we purchased the truck used but only 1 keyfob. The dealer programmed an additional keyfob for us so we have 2 now. If her key doesn't work does it mean that I need to take it to the dealer to get the keys programmed again?

    I hope that is it. My key is actually the second key for the Explorer, my wife has the other key and original key. I will try her key when she gets home to see if that is the problem. My anti-theft light doesn't blink rapidly indicating a PATS violation though when my key is in. It blinks...

    OK, I can rule out the starter. Here is the newest update: I was able to get the starter to fire by manually bridging the 2 connections on the Solenoid with a screwdriver. This is strange thing, I put my key in and turned it to ON and then bridged the connections to get the starter to fire so...

    I just tried that and I can't get anything at the starter. I get power at the Solenoid even with the key out of the ignition but when I touch the test light to the power lead to the starter nothing happens when the key is turned. Does that mean it's not the starter? I followed the thick wire...

    Is there anything else I can try before spending the $$ on a new starter? I want to make sure I exhaust all possibilities to avoid spending $$ I don't have to. I am new at all of this so I am thinking I could have done something wrong. To jump the starter relay I just connect jumpers to the...

    I tested the Solenoid and there is power going to the Solenoid. I tried jump starting the starter and couldn't get anything, just the same result as if I were to turn the key. I am leaning towards a bad starter here. Is that what you would think also?

    I'm going to hook a voltmeter up to the solenoid and test it to see if it could be a bad circuit or a bad solenoid/starter assembly. I will post back up here with what I find out.

    The anti-theft light flashes when the the ignition is not ON. When I turn the ignition ON the light turns solid and when I try to start it the light remains solid. Thanks for your help.
