1999 ford ranger 4 wheel drive 5 speed won't start

Wasn't having any problems with my truck until it was towed. Now I can't get it to start. Lights come on but doesn't even crank. Is there something with the antitheft ignition that I need to do to get the truck to start??? I know the key has an antitheft chip in it but wouldn't think this would cause this kind of problem since I'm using the original key.

SOURCE: Lost keys to ford ranger and need to bypass the

Hi,

I am not allowed to provide instructions to bypass an antitheft system, I am sorry.

But I can tell you that it ist not simple to be done,I think it´s even impossible to override the system of your car. The reason is that the immobilizer is included in the engine control module, so there is no way to bypass the system.

The easiest -and cheapest- way is to order a new key or tow the car to the next Ford Branch to program the existing key.

The most commonly diagnosed component is the shifter and/or shifter solenoid on your Impala.

I have a 2004 5-speed Ford Ranger. It is stuck in 4x4 high and the lights on the dash do not register anything when the knob is turned. any suggestions

I would try tapping on the shift motor mounted on the trnasfer case as they have been known to stick at times. I would also make sure you do have the vehicle in neutral and your foot on the brake pedal before trying to unlock.
