Starting to feel like a beater!

[justbob]

First the LCM, now the FRPS (best guess), now a bad ignition key! I go to leave my mother's house with Melanie and the kids and no crank. I even tried to jump the starter, crank no start:mad:. Borrow mom's Corsica to run the family home and grab my wifes keyring thats she never seems to carry on her:mad: Drive back, fire the junk up and head home. When is this gonna end? I figure what, another $60.00 labor, $20-$30 parts over a stupid key??? Starting to feel like a hooptie.. When is summer gonna get here?:depress: Better yet, can I paaalease get my job back? End rant, I just had to blow some steam...

[offroadking208]

[DOOM]

Sorry to hear about your troubles bro.
Was it a bad chip in your key?
Never heard of this happening before.

[Marauder Rick]

[ChiTownMaraud3r]

Thanks Jake. Yup, bad or unprogrammed chip. I've heard of this a few times around here. never found out the cause though?? I've used the same key since I picked her up in 04.

Thanks brandon. I kick myself now for never getting copies made.


All you others guys::P Thanks but I wouldn't want you to downgrade just for me. Thanks though:D

I have a 97 Town Car that does not require PATS. Do you have more than 2 keys? If you do, the replacement key will be a piece of cake to program.

[Bigdogjim]

Hang in there stuff happens. Always when you don't need it!

Better day are on the way :up::

[TAKEDOWN]

Bob, if you need a flashlight holder let me know!

[LOWBUCKMM]

[justbob]

[LOWBUCKMM]

^^^ Can you blame me? Bob's hOt!!! ^^^

this is usually the time of year ***** seems to brake, atleast for me anyways

[a_d_a_m]

Starting to feel like a hooptie..Tell ya what, I will trade you my Dodge Magnum and you can replace both lower control arms at $300ish a piece. :lol:

[justbob]

Can't you get aftermarket or junkyard?

[a_d_a_m]

Can't you get aftermarket? They don't exist in the aftermarket. Trust me, I've been scouring. A case of Red Dog to whoever can prove me wrong! :beer:

Can't you get junkyard? The problem is, I need ball joints. You can't replace 'just' the LBJ's on the car, you have to replace the LCA. For that, I'd rather not buy a "used" part with a questionable history.

[justbob]

Wow, didn't know that. Sure is a lot of highpowered Magnum SRT/8's around here, you would think they would have stiffer rears installed? Have you looked up SRT/8 RCA? Or joined a forum for guidance?

[justbob]

I'll take a looksy tomorrow for ya in all my free time.

[a_d_a_m]

PM's sent.

So are you saying buying a 3d key now is worth the extra hassle of something like this going wrong and THEN having to get it reprogrammed?

[Da Dark Jedi]

For your parts need give Ray "The Dealer" a call. OEM Ford parts at cost.

Yes, definately learn by my mistake.

Why don't you just pass your magic wand over the car and send all of your troubles away http://photos-h.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc3/hs166.snc3/19353_1366250118972_1313240272 _1018218_3379749_s.jpg
