2000 Ranger
I have a 2000 Ford Ranger that will not start.
Recently lost spare key and had it replaced. Several months later the truck intermittently had difficulty starting.
It now appears that the truck does not recognize the key
or the ignition does not recognize that the clutch is engaged....
I try to start the truck and its as if there's nothing there -
Battery is fine, fuses, wires, checked
Even replaced the starter (although I doubt it was bad)
Truck still won't start
Purchased truck new - did not recv a separate key for anti-theft system....its always just blinked when starting then turned off
Any suggestions?

2000 Ranger
PATS & Remote starting
I'm confused..I have a 2000 Ranger with keys that have "chips" in them or something that needs to be programmed only by Ford
Do I also have some sort of remote starting option?
My mechanic is trying to get the truck to start - checked battery and replaced the starter...still nothing. He thinks it has something to do with the Anti-theft features
Anyway to disable it?
