I have a 2007 ford fusion, I went to start my car and the anti-theft light started flashing and then all lights were flashing quickly and headlights flashing dimly. At first, I thought my battery was dead, but all my lights turn on in the car, I jumped it, and my battery charger reads that it is fully charged. I then wondered if it was the starter, but know I am thinking that my alarm system is malfunctioning and locking the car out from starting. I have the original keys, so I'm not sure why this would happen. Is there a restart button for the alarm or do you think I could disconnect the battery to reset the electrical system?

The chip is in the key. Either the key has lost it's program or the transceiver is not recognising the key. Try another key if you have one.

SOURCE: Spare Key will not start the car.

no you don't have to have it done at dealership. i bought mine on ebay got it cut at walmart and it works. you need the two originals, turn the ignition to on and then off 4 times (i think it was) with the first two then put your spare key in and do the same. and it will work.

The timing is critical to this procedure, please read through the entire procedure before attempting.
Procedure:
1. Insert one of the pre-programmed transponder keys and turn the ignition to "on", leave on for at least one second (I wait until the red key symbol in the instrument cluster extiinguishes), remove the key from the ignition.
2. Within 5 seconds insert the second pre-programmed key and urn the ignition to "on" for at least one second but no more than 5 seconds (use the key symbol for this as well) then remove the second key.
3. within 10 seconds insert the new key in the ignition and turn the ignition to "on", if you are successful the red key symbol will illuminate then extinguish after about a second.

If you are not successful the red key symbol will flash repeatedly to indicate that you have inserted an invalid key. Remove the key, wait a minute and try it again, it took me a few times to get it perfect and I had done it before.

take the positive side of the battery off for about 3 seconds and then put it back on to see if this will reset the security code

does it have an autostart? if you have two keys (this will only work if you have two) turn the key to on in the ignition and wait till the theft light goes out do this for each key this may fix your problem.
