Hey Man Hey,

I had this problem. My fix was easy. Where you put the key in " the black wing-nut plastic body is actually wher the security curcuit starts" thats where the chip on your key meets the spring loaded contacts well on mine the spring loaded contacts failed to return which when key inserted this curcuit is open and security light comes on. It could also be the "Body Controll Module" you should hope that is not the problem cause that component needs to be programmed to match the rest of the system. that is all ther is to it as far as I can tell.

My 2004 mountaineer does not do anything when you try to start the car, lights and radio work. security light blinks rapidly when i try to start, but car does not even try to turn over, any suggestions

Security is set. Lock the car up. open it with the key and turn it on. this usually resets the security. If it doesn't use the key fob while its still on and unlock it.

Turn Key and nothing but lights and radio are fine. No sound of cranking over, is it the strater?

Hello: If the security light is NOT blinking when you hold the key in the start position then it could be the starter, If no security light blinking have a helper hold the key in the start position and the another person hit the starter with a hammer, medium blow, if car starts you have a failed starter. If security light is blinking with key in start then you have a immobilizer problem and you will need the failure code so you will know where to start your diagnosis.

When I insert my key to start, I do not hear the "click" indicating electonic system activation. Turning the key, lights come on, computer activates etc. but no starter motor engagement. Relay switch?...

no dont think its the magic relay but more like the immobilisor ,is their any security light flashing on the dash somewhere ,try locking and unlocking the door with the key three times then try to start within 15 secs .if this doesnt work it could be the brake light switch if its an auto ,Not sure what you mean by the click. Without having the vehicle in front of me its difficult to tell you exactly what to look for
