2002, Explorer, XLT, 4x4. 4.0 v6, automatic
THEFT mode activated. What can I do?
Wrong key tried in the ignition now the THEFT light is flashing when vehicle is sitting or key is in off position. Turn key to run the THEFT light goes off after three seconds as it should but when turned to start the starter does not try. The fuel pump activates and everything seems normal but the motor does not attempt to turn over. Recently bought & only have one key which has plastic top like the encoded key should. Hadn't started explorer in a while and when I went to start it I accidently tried a windstar (recently scrapped) key. Hate to pay to tow it FORD.
