Re: 1998 Ford Windstar

Here is a likely scenario- whoever sold it to you replaced the ignition lock
and or bought a non Ford key that is SUPPOSED to have a chip(the chip is an
anti-theft device). Now, the control module does not recognise the key, and
will not allow the vehicle to start. A trip to the dealer may be your only
way to fix this.(and I just can't help but think, if ALL it needed were a
crank sensor, why did the seller not fix it and raise the saleable price
several thousand)
