SOURCE: ignition alarm will not stop 97 ford f150

The key switch usually breaks or wears out and makes contact. It is on the lock cylinder. This would cause the chime to not come on, or stay on. Sounds like the switch is bad.

1997 F-150/250 Warning Chime, Key-In-Ignition The key-in-ignition chime warns that the key is still in the ignition when the driver's door is ajar. The key-in-ignition warning chime will sound when:

  • GEM: Driver door is ajar, the ignition switch is in the OFF/LOCK or ACC position and the keys are in the ignition.
  • CTM: Driver door is ajar, the ignition switch is in the OFF/LOCK, ACC or RUN position and the keys are in the ignition.
The key-in-ignition warning chime will stop sounding when:
  • Driver door is closed.
  • Key is removed from the ignition.
  • GEM: Ignition switch is switched to the RUN position.
The key-in-ignition warning chime inputs are:
  • Ignition switch RUN position (battery potential on both RUN and RUN/ACC inputs).
  • Ignition switch ACC position (battery potential on RUN/ACC input only).
  • Key-in-ignition switch (grounded with key-in-ignition, open circuit with key-out).
  • LH door ajar switch (open circuit with door closed, grounded with door ajar).
This is a pic for a 98, could not find one for 97 which may be the older style which is more prone to break.

SOURCE: Lost keys to ford ranger and need to bypass the

Hi,

I am not allowed to provide instructions to bypass an antitheft system, I am sorry.

But I can tell you that it ist not simple to be done,I think it´s even impossible to override the system of your car. The reason is that the immobilizer is included in the engine control module, so there is no way to bypass the system.

The easiest -and cheapest- way is to order a new key or tow the car to the next Ford Branch to program the existing key.

Lost keys to 2004 Ford truck how do I start it

Sorry but you don't - without the regular correctly coded key the immobiliser won't disarm.

The immobiliser is integrated into the computerised management system and can't be bypassed. You need to contact a very good auto locksmith or the dealer.

Can i bypass the ignition safety lost key 01 ford escape xlt

Sorry you can't. Ford's suck because you have to have two keys to reprogram the security to the keys. Last one I had done cost about $200. Dealer only.

We think weve got something wrong somewhere after replacing a clutch and reassembling everything.

Complain to the mechanic-if he won't help-call the local business authority about misconduct. If you paid for the job then it should be done correctly. An overseer will make sure both parties are being honest about their side and see that the correct action is being done.

There no way runs through your computer, your truck is in theft mode, most lock smiths have the computer to program a chip to your pag system, you have a key already won't be that much to do.
