2002 Ford Winstar Theft Deterrent

[DavidChen]

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.

Thank you so much Joel.
Following your tip - adjust the steering wheel, I am able to turn the key and ignition the van.

Thanks for your help.
