My ford freestyle won't start because of alarm?
Its an alarm feature the car has i don't know how it turned on but when i turn the key it cuts off the engine i have looked around and this is a common problem but how do i fix it my car is in my driveway and hasn't moved in days
Based on your use of "i don't know" you must be a teenager whose parents are away, and you want to go for a joyride in the car while they are gone.
It appears you have the WRONG key for it, which can't disengage the immobiliser.
If it's an aftermarket alarm you'll have to remove it, which is not easy. If it's the factory security system… Try another key. If not, try disconnecting the battery ground for 10 minutes, reattach and cycle the door lock 3 times on and off then try to start it. Before anything you should have checked your fuses inside and under the hood.
- Why do I have to replace bearings on a ford freestyle so much? Just replaced rear bearings on both back tires last yr. Its making the bearing sign noise, why do they go thru so many beaings
- Why did my car start and die when put into gear? Now it won't start at all? It's a cold winter day (below zero) Car started right up! I let it run for about 2 minutes, I put it in gear and it just died. I figured it's cold out, not real surprising, but when I tried to start it again, it won't start! Turns over fine but engie won't start! Any ideas? 2003 Ford Taurus 3.0L
- I can't lock my car because it won't open? My MOT is up next month. I don't lock my car because if i do i can't open it. It is a 2000 Ford fiesta. So there's not much chance of someone nicking it. Lol… Could it cause an MOT fail.
- Car won't start even with jump start? I have a Ford Escort 2001. I checked the battery at Auto Zone, told me it was fine and had charge. The alternator is also good. The starter is also fine. When I turn the key there's no clicks. The lights on the dashboard stay on. Does anyone know what it could be? I've also checked the cables and connections.
