In this video I have a look at a customer’s Ford Edge that was towed in with a no crank issue. Customer states that the security light is also flashing. Problem is he only has one key too. Let’s see what we can do to get this one back on the road.
-Enjoy!

Wrong fuse box wrong year and different problem
Had a Nissan Altima do this, it was the steering lock. After I pulled the lock down, got it started and pulled the fuse…..My wife drove with that lock hanging down for years.
I'm aware that this is 5 months ago. So please forgive me for that. I have a question concerning the PATS. My wife, God love her, has managed to lose the ONLY key to our truck. A 2002 F150 King Ranch 5.4L. Aside from having a give up our firstborn as well as an arm and a leg. Is there any way I can delete, bypass, get rid of the PATS? This has become a total and complete cluster cuss, to the point I'm about willing to use the truck as the base for our next bond fire!! I've heard and read that FORScan might be able to help me, along with a bunch of other "snake oil" solutions. If there's ANY advice you could give me or something I would be eternally grateful ðŸ™!! If you would rather DM me, that can be worked out as well. Have a good one and be safe out there!
Here at 956k!
AUTEL have something called Smart battery auto discharge in their drone batteries, I hate it, seriously cannot stand it 🤣. Maybe they use the same technology across the board?
I had this exact issue on my Ford Freestyle, all it needed was a battery.
The Autel has a parasitic draw!
Great video!!!!!!!
Lol, don't get weird!
hoping this is not going to turn into a double post as I can't seem to see original, I'll delete if they both pop up
Been enjoying your videos for some time now and am a backyard parts replacer.
There are 3 Ford related vehicles in my household (2006 f250 6.0 4×4 auto @45k miles, 2011 Mazda 3 2.5 6spd @ 173k miles & 2011 Lincoln MKX 3.7 awd auto @ 168k miles) with their age there is always going to be something that will need fixing and I've been having sporatic abs/traction control issues with the MKX that comes and clears itself and am now looking to get a scanner that may help me diagnose it as last night traction dash light lit up flashing, abs kept pulsating then car went into limp, no acceleration mode which after parking a couple minutes it cleared again, maybe a wheel sensor or tone rings so hoping a cheaper scanner would help test. I noticed a topdon box at about 6 minutes and wondering if that is a scanner in which you may have and can help me decide if it would suit most of my needs that would work with my 3 vehicles. Starting to look at the cheap TOPDON AD500 vs AD600 for a little bit more or is there any other scanner you may have experienced in this low price range that would better suit most backyard repair needs. Thanks in advance for any help in my scanner search
Of course there’s more than one Ford key on the hooks! 😂
The key to success is programming your key for success. 😅
Super repair. Nice video, thanks
Cool.
Pierre. If you want to fix Canada 🇨🇦 then you should Talk to my Husband . But your going to need many hours but his list us simple but to the point, and I know that your head will spin with all he has to say. He is not a pollination but knows Canada has been broke and corrupt for years political spending has gone way off the charts and needs to be fixed there has to be major cuts in the government . No more voting yourselves a raise, as a matter of fact take some major cuts in pays , No more lavish pensions, video calls instead of flying all over the world, with a majority government , if you want to fo fill your promises to the Canadian people you will have that power. The people are done with BS and lies . That's just a few things he has to say , but there is a whole lot more .
My key costs $2 to copy at any hardware store. Cut by a one-eyed drunk with the shakes. It'll stop work. And somehow I still have the physical strength to lock and unlock the doors and trunk using the key.
Ridiculous that Transponder Island requires you to sign up to see any prices on their website.
Bath plumbing in New York not a sponsor… 😅
The Autel tool you are using is a locksmith level tool. thoe's tools bypass the wait time. the normal Autel tool, you need to wait the 10 minutes.
Saludos Eric ðŸ‘
I really like your diagnostic videos. I’m an old dude who has worked on his own vehicles for over fifty years, but computers and electronics baffle me. I was an automotive machinist when I was much younger and could put an engine together, but electronics are black magic to me. Love your channel, I’m in Arizona and I had to google Bath, NY. It’s only 2300 miles, maybe I can visit someday. 😂 Take care and Happy New Year. 🎊
It's so strong security that even the thieves would have a hard time to crack the code.
Vehicle security systems are a nemesis of the independent shop.

Isn't there a phrase among the Cosa Nostra…"The Keys of Death"?
Never had a problem with a 50 dollar from the amazon though.
Merry Christmas 🎅 🎄
Merry Christmas to all and to all a pleasant good night, thanks for your insight and knowledge
MERRY CHRISTMAS!!
Another job made look easy!
You are the best!
Did you make sure the remote start worked from the key?
Keep up the excellent work and have a Merry Christmas!
Hmmm
My keys from Amazon weren't $5 they were $25 and all three of them worked. If you have 2 keys you can make additional copies free. However I lost one and had to have a car shop copy it to have 2.
New video wants me to pay, I'm calling the shop!
Happy Christmas all. A year too late for the Amazon key warning
I like your new Wilbert’s jacket! Merry Christmas to Mr & Mrs O and the SMA team…
