My 2007 ford freestyle ignition switch was loose and caused my interior lights to come on. My husband purchased a new ignition switch with keys and installed but now the car won't start. Any ideas?

Ford PATS - anti - theft system . You will need to have it towed to ford to have key's programmed to the vehicle . Or call a mobile lock smith that can program ford key's .

How to install keyless entry?

I disagree. If you have a key that starts the car then the immobilisor is good. A new remote can be easily programmed, and a new key can too.

I have a 1994 firebird formula and i replaced the ing. key lock cylinder and got the new key programed and checked the resistance and both keys are the same but car will not start but what is strange is...

The lock is not properly engaging the washer that moves the switch actuating rod. Remove the cylinder and reinstall, ensuring the rod moves the switch as the lock is turned.

0900c152800b8968 (1)-jnh1p0frnkt3q2fbcpfimq4v-1-0.gif

To install:

1. Verify the ignition switch is in the on position and the actuator rod is properly installed in the switch.
2. Rotate the cylinder clockwise to align cylinder key with the keyway in the housing.
3. Push the lock all the way in.
4. Install the screw.
5. Tighten the screw to 14 inch lbs. (1.5 Nm) for adjustable columns and 25 inch lbs. (2.8 Nm) for standard columns.
6. Re-center the SIR coil assembly.
7. Install the turn signal switch and steering wheel
8. .Connect the negative battery cable, enable the SIR system.

This is about to be rather lengthy, so I apologize in advance. I traded for a 98 Firebird on April 19th. Already broke down. The problem doesn't lie within the engine or transmission however. What...

Sounds like the electrical part of the ignition switch, not the lock cylinder that needs replacing.
Possible also that cutting that wire to the security module immobilized it.

Installed new ignition switch, programed sys,but starter disabled ,remove key, checked fusses, battery.

If this is a new ignition for an auto parts store the key that came with it is not programmed to start the car. You actually have to take that key to the dealer and have one cut for your ignition.
