escort won't start after ignition changed
had to replace the ignition switch. after I went to crank it after switching it out, there was a buzzing around the relay control module. Thought that maybe somehow the ignition tripped something in it so bought a new one. IT is still buzzing and car won't turn over. everything lights up on dash. tried to see if there were any codes and the scanner just reads "fail". ideas?

Re: escort won't start after ignition changed
It is probably something with the anti-theft system. You might have to have someone from Ford do something for it. I don't know much about that system, but someone that does will probably want to know what year Escort it is in order to help.

Re: escort won't start after ignition changed
I don't think I have anti theft. I know we had to get a key made for it a few years ago because we lost one. We just went to the hardware store and had that done. And there has never been a theft light light up anywhere. I don't even have ABS. I think the anti theft started a few years after mine

Re: escort won't start after ignition changed
If it was mine, the first thing I'd do is check every fuse. Pulling and verifying zero resistance, not just visually looking at them in place. If all fuses are good, then maybe try an Escort only forum. Might get help from those that spend tons of time on just that car.
