What Is Blinking Blue Light on My 2003 Ford Explorer Eddie Bauer
Most Helpful Answer
1, Try turning the key and moving the shift from park to drive and back. Then try starting it again!
2. Try your spare key in case the chip has failed in your primary key.
3. If you get it started, go to an Auto Zone and get a computer read out to see if it will tell you what the issue is.
UPDATE 6/20/29
Use the trunk to first lock the driver door then unlock it.

Some anti-theft lights blink by default ( a small red light near the dash, for example is there to warn off thieves ). If this is some other type of light then disconnect your battery (negative first then positive) for 30 minutes and reconnect in reverse order (positive then negative). This should reset the computer. You will loose presets in your radio.

Try turning your key on and unhooked the positive battery cable for 15 minutes and hook your positive battery cable back up with the key still on.
First off the time that the battery is disconnected keeps getting shirter by 5 mins secondly its a pats security system issue just turn the key to the on position for about ten mins your problem should go away
I had the same problem..I tried every one of these other methods with no luck. Took me a month to figure it out and luckily I could still start my vehicle and bypass using ignition key by touching something long and metal, e.g. A screwdriver, to these 2 bolts under the hood and start it that way but what a pain everytime I needed to start it.. I finally found this answer in an old forum somehwere and it worked!
Answer: Anti theft system had been activated, you need to push the 7/8 9/0 keypad buttons at the same time then enter the unlock code to disable the system. Sometimes this can also work by using the door key to first lock the drivers door then unlock it.
I had an 01 expedition with anti-theft light blinking and took it to dealer to reset. I was told fuel pump was bad. Anti-theft shuts down the fuel pump so they're idiots. Transponder in on the ignition switch was not reading chip in key so I dug the chip out of the key and removed transponder from ignition and taped the chip to the transponder and stuck it up under the dash out of the way. No problem since.
I have a 02 Ford Taurus not getting fire to the switch on the starter

I have a 1997 Ford Expedition the anti-theft light is blinking. I lost the security chip out of the key. And I had two other transponder keys made and took it to the Ford Place and they wiped the computer system playing I guess but they said these keys are programmed to the truck but the anti-theft light is still blinking and will not start. I took the fuse out for the anti-theft light still won't start what else can be done

I have the same problem the whole time I've been trying to find somebody else that has this issue I reset it and I can turn the truck right back on that only lasts for a matter of minutes then it goes right back into anti-theft mode how come nobody has mentioned this part is there a short or something causing it to go back into that mode every time cuz resetting its pointless if it's just going to keep doing it
I have a 2001 f150. I took the ignition switch out and put it back in, now the theft light is blinking and it won't start. What should I do?

Pull the positive cable off the batterie n turn on headlights for 30 mins...if that don't work pull the com relay n fuse under drigrside dash
Sorry phone is broken pcm relay under hood and the 30 amp under the dash n there is I believe two more high amp fuses under the hood as well to check I believe you can look in the owners manual to be assact.
That's for both of you n if not you need to test to see if there is a short to the pcm
Turn your key on and unhook the positive battery cable.let sit with key still on, for 15 minutes then hook cable back up, should start.
I have a 2009 F150 Crew Cab Lariat my question is I did a flush on my radiator I drained 3 quarts of oil and put Lucas Oil the right amount but my friend had undid my battery the negative side only and then quickly put it back didn't think nothing of it finish doing the rest of the service on my truck while when I went to turn it on will not turn on I have power going through everything but there's no power going to the starter but I had start. checked and it was good everything's good everything's connected it just will not start I need help and from what I've read so far I'm pretty sure but I'm hoping you guys will like back it up with me and make sure I'm right that it might be my anti-theft system because my friend swears its not…

This anti theft crap is the biggest load of crap I've ever seen. Snowplowing, got sucked in ditch, got tugged 10 times to get it out drove home no problems, shut it off and open led door and alarm started blaring. Nothing would stop it. And now no crank no start. I had to remove the horn relay because it wouldn't stop blaring the horn. Absolutely embarrassing. Then turn key to run and jumper small terminal on solenoid to crank the engine over to start it. Seriously this is the dumbest thing I've ever seen on a vehicle in my life. This is my money making rig and now everytime the plow motor kills the engine i have to get out to restart it. Effen trash.

Do you start it while you shift at the same time or do you shift first and then started or do you started then shift so what is it what's the combo
