Sounds like your immobiliser has a fault and is engaging when it should not be. One of the functions of the immobiliser is to engage when the battery power has been disconnected, this is an anti theft precaution against someone trying to tamper with the electrics when attempting to hot wire the car. Have Ford reset the immobiliser anti theft system.

How can I start my 2005 Ford focus SE without the key chip

I'm sorry, but it is not possible to start a 2005 Ford Focus SE without the key chip. The key chip, also known as a transponder key, is a security feature that prevents unauthorized access to the vehicle. Without the key chip, the car's engine immobilizer system will prevent the car from starting.

If you do not have the original key with the chip, you will need to obtain a new key with a chip from a Ford dealership or a qualified automotive locksmith. They will be able to cut a new key to match the locks on your car and program the new key chip to work with your car's immobilizer system.

Please note that attempting to start the car without the key chip or trying to bypass the immobilizer system may cause damage to the car's electrical system and could potentially lead to other issues. It is important to have a proper working key chip to ensure the safe and reliable operation of your vehicle.

My 2002,ford focus se 5 SPD won't start at all no sound when key is turned. When key is in start position no dash lights come on and my anti theft light above hazards blinks continuously any ideas?

Verify battery condition by turning on headlights and seeing if they are bright. If ok, the theft system may be activated. Try locking and unlocking doors with the key fob. This will usually reset the theft deterent system.

most nissans can turn this on and off. press and hold the lock and unlock buttons on the remote together for 5 - 10 seccons, until the horn beeps or the lights flash. thats the way to set them on most nissans

My key will not turn in my 2000 ford focus has anyone had this problem and not had to replace ignition

Will the key go in and out of the ignition? If you can take the key from the ignition, I would use WD40 and lubricate the ignition lock until it is almost overly lubricated and take the key and push it in the lock and tap the end of the key into the lock with a hammer (remember, I said TAP). These things might get your car ignition to work long enough to get your car ignition into the ON position. at that point removal of the ignition cylinder is very easy. if you can't get the key to turn go to this page to see about drilling out the lock so it will turn. http://www.autosafety.org/2000-2005-ford-focus-ignition-lock-cylinder.

Go to this website and get in contact with Tousley Ford. They have great prices on ford parts if you are in the USA.

I just changed out the ignition cylinder in my 2002 Focus and it was a five minute job because I could get the old cylinder in the ON position and didn't have to drill it out. and Tousley ford did me great on the price!
Good luck.
