My 2004 Ford Explorer isn't starting, battery and starter have both tested fine and I've just replaced the starter relay to no results. I've read some threads on here about it possibly being the PATS system? This issue started after the battery died one night, for the first time since I've owned...

Hello all, I got a 2005 explorer Eddie Bauer edition from a friend of mine and he gave it to me because the PATS system was triggered after the battery went dead in it. We tried to get it started and it will crank if you jump the starter solenoid but still will not run. Can I get a computer...

Good day everyone. I have a 98 Ford Explorer Sport. It's a manual. I have an issue where it will intermittently not start from time to time. It shows up more when it's warm to hot outside. I can get it to start if I do the old push and pop-the-clutch technique. Here are the things I've tried so...

Hello i am new to this Forum and looking for advice from y'all gurus. I bought a complete 2000 explorer 4.0 sohc eddie baure eddition 2wd. -I will be doing a complete motor, trans, PCM and harness swap from this explorer to a 93 Ranger and looking to get away with not using the steering...

Hi, I scanned my Ford Explorer 2012 as I was getting some errors with the Active Park. I was able to fix the PAM issue (right sensor was disconnected) but the scan also provided the below DTC. Can someone tell me what this error could be and how to troubleshoot it? Thanks B10D9:87-48 Code...

Just information but I found it behind the passenger side airbag. easy peasy to get to.

Hows it going everyone. I am new to the forum. I currently own a 2004 ford Explorer XLT 4.0L. A couple months ago my car wouldn't start, I jumped it and put a battery pack to it but still nothing. After noticing my anti-theft light continuing to blink very fast. I looked up issues to this and I...

Hi everyone. I was having an issue with the Explorer SOHC 4.0 not wanting to restart when it was warm. Was cranking fine cold (other than needing new intake seals-thats next) and most times it took 2-3 tries to restart it when warm. Then suddenly one day it didn't want to start at all. I kept...

Started her up this afternoon and as was the usual didn't quite start on the first try but cranked immediately on the second try. Ran ok, if its cold it stumbles some until warmed up and I'm pretty sure it needs upper/lower intake gaskets as I'm at 175000 and haven't been done to my knowledge...

So, some wonderful member of society tried yanking my 99 explorer sport and only anaged to damage the PATS module clip that snaps into ring. After replacing it (just the clip was broken-used exact same module and have both og keys), nada. 2 locksmiths, nothing. Took it to Ford and they (after a...

The key is not a chip key or at least I say that because it is very thn. When the car is off, the theft text in the dashboard is a normal slow red blink and is not preventing the car from starting. After the car sits for a while the theft text is off. But nonetheless, I thought there was not...

I lost the key to my Merc and wanna know if I can carb swap it and run the truck it's only a woods/farm truck already have all the ignition switches wired to a switch and the truck will crank but no start, if I spray starting fluid in the intake it will fire but no start because of pats. Love...

So it appears the lock cylinder is likely ok, and the actual switch on the column is ok, but behind the lock sylider is another 'switch' that the lock cylinder physically moves, and we think that's the problem child. I removed the plastic covers on the column but I cannot even SEE that little...

My ex tried to steal my 01 Explorer. He drilled out the ignition, in the process he broke the pats transceiver.. After a failed attempt he broke the 2 side, tail gate and driver passenger windows. He threw the original key in the lake when he realized he had it , tried to use it and couldn't...

Hello Folks, My name is Scott and I own a 1996 Ford Exploder, 4.0L, 4D, 2WD, which up until now, refuses to die! Bought it 3 1/2 years ago and the transmission was failing then... It's still running. wrapped the hood around the windshield... Twice, doing about 75 MPH down a highway, peeled the...

So I have a 2004 ford explorer. I just went out one day and it wouldn't start. Before I noticed the anti theft light. I took battery and had it checked and took starter off and both were good. Then I noticed the anti theft light blinks rapidly for about a minute and after a minute it blinks 6...

Hi there everyone, serious issue here: I've got a '01 Explorer Sport that probably about 90% of the time, won't start on the first go around. Usually, I'll get in the car, go to turn the key and... All the electronics in the car shut down, no crank at all. There is a rapid, but very muted...

I posted this thread last week looking for some answers (didn't find any) but you can see what my symptoms are: http://www.explorerforum.com/forums/index.php?threads/09-explorer-no-start-rsc-service-now-theft-light-blinking-gauge-cluster-dead.446294/ So anyway, I ordered a new transciever since...

Hi, Dave here. My daughter has a 2001 SportTrac with the dreaded blinking "Theft" light. And only one chip key. We live on a small island with no dealership, so towing fees, ferry wait times and other costs to get it to a dealership will run over one thousand dollars...., not a viable...

Hello, all. I appreciate your reading my question. My 2002 Explorer recently would not turn over when the key was turned to the START position. I did some troubleshooting, all relays/fuses/etc. were good, and found that there was power at the starter solenoid. So I replaced the starter...

So I've done some research, but I think I've read too much and confused myself. Truck is only $200 bc the guy has lost his keys and I talked him out of junking it. Problem is it's PATS equipped I believe. I'm new to PATS as my '97 explorer isn't so equipped. I'm thinking of just changing out...

My '97 Explorer XLT stopped suddenly the other day, and I needed towing home. I assumed the fuel pump had died, so bought another. However, after a bit of poking around, there is only 6V at the pump, as well as at the inertia cut-off switch. All fuses are intact, All relays are good...

hello, was on a trip with my 98 explorer 4.0 vin x, 165000 miles, and lost power then engine died and no restart. fuel was way low coasted as far as i could then stopped and it restarted and drove fine for another 200 miles. thought maybe fuel gauge was not reading correct but after driving...

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...

Hello fellow explorers - I dont know if im being overly cautious with this but i dont want/cant afford to screw something up. Here it is: I want to install just a new aftermarket HU nothing special on my used 00' explorer xlt. It was a GSA auction vehicle that was used by the government so...

I put a new engine into 98 Ford Explorer, when I turn the key the theft light flashes really fast. The first thing I thought was its a PATS issue but this is my second Explorer and and a similar issue happen to me before, the wiring harness that came with the first Explorer engine wouldnt work...

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...
