2004 ford explorer wont start

[Clark D Gerver Jr]

Battery good, new starter,all fuses and relays good. The only way to get started was to hold key in start position and rapidly turn steering wheel back and forth. That trick quit and new trick was to lower steering column and slam back in position. Now that trick fails and explore will not start at all. Please help

Does the theft light blink? When it doesn’t start does the motor turn over?

Light red for @ 2seconds then goes off as if it recognizes key then nothing. Still wont start or turnover nothing

My guess would be a wiring issue. Pull the column cover and have a look.

Don't forget to check the neutral safety switch.
