QuestionMy 02 Ford Escape will periodically not start due to the securilock system. When it will not start the theft light flashes rapidly, but then it will randomly start up normally a few days later. I don't want to take it to the dealer, is there an easy way to disable the whole system or reset it?
AnswerThere is a way.
You make the ignition code reader think the smart
key is in the ignition at all times.
This keeps the system from arming.
To make it happen, print the following
and give it to your technician:
Go get 2 non transponder keys cut at
the hardware store for 3 bucks each.
Get a universal bypass module (key-in-a-box style)
at www.REMOTESTARTCENTRAL.com for 25.00.
Then wrap the coil around the key cylinder,
secured in place with hot-glue. Connect the
status input wire to chassis ground and the
positive to ignition...no more transponder
key required. No Smart Key security issues.
The total cost on this is
substantially less than what a dealership
would charge to replace and reprogram keys
all the time.
There is also the KXO4 PKFORD Bypass kit
that does not require any additional keys,
and is done through the data buss of the truck,
but is a bit more at 73.
This is what will work instead of the dealerships
profit margin.
Tell them to overcharge someone else!
