Drove my Expedition about 3 days ago, then parked it.
Went back out today, and it's DEAD dead.
Hooked up the charger for a couple hours, didn't do much more but give it enough juice to turn over once and click.
Figure that I may have a bad battery, so I'll diagnose that after a bit (swap out a known good battery) and see, but...
I jump started it to go over and pick up some stuff, left it running until I got back home.
Back home, I shut it off and tried to turn it back on. It's certainly got a fair amount of juice in it now, cranks over just fine, but, it won't start.
The theft light is blinking rapidly.
Went and found my spare keys (I actually have 5 total programmed keys from when I bought it with some janky aftermarket keys). One of the "good" Ford keys started it briefly, the others will not.
Now, none of them will start it, the theft light still blinks rapidly.
It still cranks over, just acting like it isn't getting fuel (which I believe is what PATS cuts out for a non-programmed key).
Anyone have this issue before? Could a dead battery have reset the programmed keys?
