Since you bought it, what has been done in the way of
preventative maintenance

I would have layed it up for two weeks, and gone through the
entire vehicle,changing all fluids,spark plugs,checked fuel
pressure and on and on.

You probably bought a vehicle that is 5 or more years old,
that other than,oil changes, is the same as when it came off the
train and car hauler, on the way to a dealer

That won't work on todays high tech vehicles

Snow and cold, has little to do with todays electronic wonders

You do realize, your asking a question, when as I said, we have no vehicle
history

I don't think you understand the technology,not anyone can work on todays
vehicles. You need a 2 or 4 year college degree, if your just starting out

I will help you when you give me something technical to work with

    I also have a '05 forf five hundred that doesnt like to start when its 30 degrees out but will start when its 24 below.. doesnt matter if its sitting for 3 hrs or 36 hours..if its 30 to 35 degrees out it tends to "act" like it floods itself but it really isnt.. Its got to be some sensor somewhere..Just havent found it yet..but I will get to the bottom of this soon enough

How do I start a 2005 ford five hundred without keys

You really need the key as it may contain a small chip to allow the engine to start because without the coded chip the engine will crank until the battery is flat or you can try and find someone to bypass the immobiliser for you but as it is part of the ecm get it wrong and replacement ecm and coding required
cheaper to get new keys cut and coded imho

I have a 2005 Ford Five Hundred and the ''wrench'' warning light came on. It is a AWD. What does it mean and what could the probable cause be?

It simply means that its time for routing service and maintenance on your car. This will normally be reset when you take it in for an oil change. 1. Ford has issued a Special Service Message (SSM), stating that the owner's manual procedure is incorrect, and giving a revised procedure. The following is the text of the SSM:

18562 2005 FREESTYLE/FIVE HUNDRED/MONTEGO - OIL LIFE RESET PROCEDURE
THE 2005 FREESTYLE, FIVE HUNDRED, AND MONTEGO VEHICLE OWNER'S GUIDE OIL LIFE RESET PROCEDURE IS INCORRECT. TO RESET OIL LIFE ON VEHICLES WITHOUT MESSAGE CENTER, USE THE TRIP/RESET BUTTON TO TOGGLE THE ODOMETER DISPLAY TO 'OIL LIFE XX%'. THEN PRESS AND HOLD THE BUTTON FOR 10 SECONDS TO RESET TO 100%. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WILL BEEP WHEN THE OIL LIFE IS RESET.
FOR VEHICLES WITH A MESSAGE CENTER, PRESS 'SETUP' TO DISPLAY 'PRESS RESET FOR SYS CHECK'. PRESS AND RELEASE 'RESET' TO START SYSTEM CHECK. WHILE 'OIL LIFE XX%' IS DISPLAYED, PRESS AND HOLD 'RESET' UNTIL 'IF NEW OIL HOLD RESET' IS DISPLAYED, THEN RELEASE. PRESS AND HOLD 'RESET' AGAIN UNTIL 'OIL LIFE SET TO 100%' IS DISPLAYED. THE INSTRUMENT CLUSTER WILL BEEP WHEN THE OIL LIFE IS RESET.
