Ignition swap?? 2002/2003
I bought a 2002 Ranger that had a bad motor and planned on rebuilding it. The only key that they gave me when I bought it was a regular (non chip) key but it worked and the truck started. I recently found a 2003 with a good motor but damage to the cab and front fenders from a slow roll over and bought it.
I just finished the motor swap but now the 2002 will not start and the THEFT light is flashing. I have heard that if the battery is disconnected for a certain amount of time that you need the chip key start it again.
The 2003 came with a chip key so I am wondering if I can just change the ignition and use the key from the 2003 or ?????
Thanks

The 2003 has been unplugged too, so you would have to get someone to program the key for it also.
