Anti-theft Immobilizer: Security system that prevents the car from starting if the ignition key is not the correct one.
Mehr lesen
The anti-theft or immobilizing system is automatic and it begins working as soon as the key is inserted. If the key is not the right one, this system activates different blockages in the car to prevent it from starting. It blocks the injection system and that disables the entire ignition system of the car.
So I have power to the car. Lights turn on checked fuses Check the starter. All good. Anti-theft, I don't know. Light is blinking rapidly when I try to start it. Please help.
Any responses. Is it possible that someone could intentionally do something to cause my Explorer not to crank? I have read things on the internet for hours, watched countless YouTube videos and had knowledgeable people have a look. The battery is fine, the starter tries when the connections are bridged,. Turn the key and the dials move, lights come in but no crank...just the red anti theft light flashes rapidly. I ask if someone could do something because I suspect someone I know who has the smarts to do something like this. All I can think is the programming has been tampered with and now the key and the Explorer don't communicate. Plz help
That's a problem. You have to scan the vehicle and see what's going on. Maybe the receiver in the switch is damaged or your ECU has to be retuned to make it recognize the key again.
Same thing driving and car shut off try ti turn on the security light flashes code 16...but can't find the fuse for it and I don't have any burnt ones to tell...
Will not do anything turn key on no dash lights anti theft light not blinking. Battery voltage is at 12.5 volts. Door chime not working with key in IGN with door open.
