You are right , it shouldn't shift out of park with out the key in the ignition lock cylinder or with out your foot on the brake pedal ! Now then , won't start how ? When you turn the key to start , the starter spins the engine or doesn't do anything ? Is the anti-theft on the dash flashing or on steady .

Go here for wiring diagrams. http://bbbind.com/free_tsb.html

A chilton book might have it the diagram must be for either non delay/or delay I have some but I'm afraid to give it to you because these although are for fords they might not be the same as yours and could create an electrical fire and I'm not here to destroy your car I will ask some other mechanics for the right ones why do you need this did it fry the connector? ?do you live near s junkyard cut one out and match the wires to that one but make sure it's either delay or non delay it makes a difference

I guess you lost the key and that was the only one, so now what I will tell you is there are supposed ways but they are all unreliable and when they fail it's always that your far from home or in a situation that becomes more and more unbearable as time goes by so the best thing to do is to call a locksmith he can erase the keys in the system and reprogram new ones for you way cheaper than a dealer and he will come to you versus towing to a dealer and then paying $350-$400+/and then the tow bill, but there is another way if you go to a junk yard you must get the lock and key which most likely will be one key? the ring antenna that goes around the cylinder the pats transceiver the instrument cluster and the computer all from the same car and switch them with yours this will work but now your back in the same situation with one key or if your lucky they have 2 for the car then you can add keys yourself it's pot luck this way is cheaper but a decent locksmith might cost the same amount with less hassle and a warranty good luck Adam I'm also in somewhat the same boat by a have the chip and a regular key and have to hold it on the back of the cylinder to start the car anyway what's your situation here ?
