I recently purchased a 97 Expedition that needed alot of work. One of the things it needed was to have some locks replaced, so I decided to just change out the entire set including the ignition switch.
This was nice and easy. But I have run into a problem that really has me confussed.
I know that the 97 uses the PATS system and the lock set I purchased came with 2 new "Unprogramed" keys. But once I installed the new ignition I was able to start the engine without having to program the new keys.
As far as I know there is not a remote start kit installed with a transponder anywhere in the vehicle that I can find. What could be causing this?
I do have to go out and pull the ignition switch again today and check for a bad contact because the door chime goes off when the drivers door is open even with the key out now, it did not do this before.
I will be on here alot because there are alot of things that need to be done with this truck. It goes into the shop tomorrow to have both exhaust manifolds and all studs replaced.
Thanks in advance for your help.
