Just bought a 1997 Ford expedition the key got separated from the black sleeve containing the chip tried to start 4 times it started then died the 5th attempt heard a clunk sort of like a auto lock and then zero power nothing tried replacing battery still nothing what can I do?
Is this a good question?

I had a Ford F-150 that I borrowed for a few days the black part of the key was mostly gone, I decided to drill a hole in it for a key fob.
This was not the best idea, it went into theft mode, the dashboard light blinked theft & it wasn't letting me pass no matter what.
I finally called the owner & we had to get a replacement key made on the spot, where the truck was & he had to drive 45 mins & bring title.
You gotta get a replacement key made by a mobile locksmith, approximately $250.00
As far as I know theft mode will not fail the Ford.

No fun! I wish that was all my problem was if I had put the black part back on before the 5th attempt blew something now I got zip no theft light no dashlight no nothing at all bumming me out!
