Thanks Guys. I'll phone the dealer ans see if they will help me over the phone. Kirk

There is a small bulb located near the Connection Box. However at -25 deg C it is well past the fog stage. If the truck is warmed for a short period of time then the remote will crank. Does anyone have wiring diagram for a Ford Auto Start. This may make it easier for me to trace through the...

Okay... I left the spare key in the ignition and the truck would not crank. It is -26 deg C tonight. This should eliminate the spare key ...right? Any more suggestions? Kirk

Thanks everyone. Can third party keys be purcheased from parts jobbers? Kirk

Thanks Stonemiser. That makes sense.:D What do I search for to find a spare key on ebay. Ford tells me a new key is $150. Why is one on ebay so much less? Kirk

I love my 03 ST, but my next truck will be a F-150. We bought a 24' TT this year and the ST has a hard time pulling it. Also the ST is too narrow to pull a ST, I could not get mirror extenders that allow me to see around the TT. If I didn't have TT I would look very hard a 07.:D

Thanks for the replies on the previous question. After talking to a local Remote start installer I learned a little more about the replies. Can anyone tell me more about the spare key that Ford uses in the Auto Start System. Also, could someone explain how the system picks up the signal and how...

Thanks for your replies. The truck will not crank. It seems to be when the ambient Air temp is is below 0 deg F. I will ask the dealer about the ignition bi-pass. Thanks Stonemiser. Todd Z: I don't undestand what you are refering to as the ring around the key loosing range. Are you refering to...

I had a Ford Auto Start installed on my SportTrac by the Dealer at purchase. It is past the warranty period. The truck will not start if the engine is cold, however it will start when the engine is warmed up even a little bit. When the truck is cold it goes through all the steps exept trying to...

Best of luck STars & STripes. Are we going to see a Diesel in a ST here? Sorry about the wrong name.

Sam. I think your onto something here. I have small modification that will take care of any pressure issues or air bubbles. Remove the return line from the rad cooler and connect it to a container with a small spigot at the bottom and filled with trany fluid and hold this container above...

Just filled the tank for $104.00. 89 octane. ( Norhtern Canada ) Be thankful you don't have to pay the taxes that we do on fuel. I havn't seen a used ST for about year now in our area. We live in TRUCK country and there are more ST's in our community all the time. They seem to be catching on...

So how can one safely clean the MAF?

All things considered. Are you not concerned about doing Engine damage by running a highly volatile liquid through it. I used to race road bikes and we tried all sorts of things as octane boosters. A few guys also burned holes in thier pistons. Thier are commercially produced Octane boosters on...

Speaking of HP robbers. Has any one figured out how to disconnect the A/C Compressor so it doesn't kick when it's not needed. I had mopar product that I could unplug the lead to the Compressor clutch and it wouldn't rob HP.
