Hey guys I have a 2007 Ford F-150 King Ranch, my auto start has been acting up recently I push the start button the horn beeps, then powers up, but then don't start, up until now it has been working fine. Also when I sit in the truck and put the back of the key(black piece) near the ignition and press the start button it fires up as normal. Can anyone help?

 

Could be a battery issue on the remote fob, have you replaced the battery in it? It could also be a problem with the remote itself, my old 2001 had the factory remote and it died, ended up going to a remote starter place and bought a new fob and had it programmed for a total of $75. One other thing it could be is the key they use for the transponder, if it lost it's programming then your truck will not start, maybe that's why it will start when you have the key next to the ignition.

 

Did you get this problem resolved?? Mine is also doing this exactly as described. Any ideas or help out there
