[QUOTE="Tombstones81, post: 1039386, member: 74875"] Asking here before I research & research & research all over again~! 05 sport trac. Recently the Theft light blinking started when it tries to verify the key in the ignition. Already had the gauges repaired & honestly, I forget if it was initially because of this issue or because of the gauges started to fail to function completely. (both were happening) What are the main reasons for the Theft system to act up? Watched one video yesterday that had an explorer (not ST) with the same system & it was basically the battery & key programming. He fixed it by replacing the battery, clearing all of the programmed keys, & reprogramming the keys again. The key I have (only have 1) is not original. So im thinking of calling around to locksmiths to find one with the programming tool. & doing what the video did & replace the battery, reset the keys, & program some new ones in. Anything else to look at tho? any wires that tend to come loose maybe? etc etc thank you [/QUOTE]
