Hey guys

need help

truck was stored in october for winter....

went to start it this weekend and nothing no electricity....so put the bateries on charge and after a few hours the bateries where charged
went to turn the key all electrical worked but would not turn over

some say you need to reprogram something..... anybody no what this is?

and if I can do this without going to dealer?

thanks

 

I had a problem with the f150 I had. I had to have the dealer tow it to reporgram the keys.

 

they wil screw me over call a towing bring truck there and get reprogram

what a pice of junk a 70k truck and it wont start

 

Its a safety feature. They don't expect you to buy a 70k truck and have it sit. I mean I understand that, but its a big safety thing. If I had it in my 2007, my harley truck wouldn't have been stolen as easy as it was.

 

ya ok thank I tough could reprogram it myself .... have to give them more money for a simple thing

 

Lol, they need to hook a computer to a truck. Its not super simple

 

How frustrating! Why in the world would you have to reprogram the keys after the batteries go dead! Some engineer at ford needs to wake up! Several of my trucks sit all summer with the batteries disconnected (plow trucks), but none of them has the chipped keys. Note to self...

I guess in your situation, next year you'll want to put a maintainer on it for the winter. They're under $40 and the electricity they use is minimal.

 

I think this may have to do with the memory. It requires a little voltage to keep everything in there.

 

GOT IT STARTED BOYS lol thanks

 

so what was the deal if not the security lock out?

 

What was it?

 

had to reset the viper alarm system and because baterie was also dead in remote it would think it was trying to get stolen

pretty good alarm system when owner cant even start it lol
