2001 Ford Explorer sport trac Anti Theft
The Explorer is not starting. Even it is in the starting position. It doesn't having crank when you start it. The "THEFT" Indicator is blinking and it doesn't stop. How I can resolve it?
Anti Theft
The anti theft light on my '01 always blinked. But when my battery died and my ST had been left with out power for a couple of days it wouldn't start. It had a button under the dash near the steering wheel that I'd have to push right before I turned over the ignition. It was a pain, but I got used to it, and actually started to like it...it was anti theft in the truest sense. It couldn't be stolen if it wouldn't start, and a thief couldn't start it unless he knew about the little button.
Do you have another key and if so did it work to start it? If not then the Ainti-Theft system isn't working correctly. Either the keys got erased or somthing in the CPU got screwed up. Try disconnecting the battery for 1/2 hour and see if it'll start. If not, may be a dealer fix.
