I have a 2002 Ford Winstar. I have driven it for over 2 years no problem. Recently, I have noticed that Theft light is flash. Today, the van is TOTAL lock. I have two keys. Neither of the key can start the engine.
Any suggestion?
Please help.
Thanks.

If the ignition is remaining locked & wont turn fully, just re-position the steering wheel a bit to get the key to turn. If you can turn the key all the way to start & nothing is happening, make sure no large metal objects or other transponder keys are attached or near your windstar keys. These things cause the transponder keys not to work.
