2013 Ford F150 - Starting System Fault FIXED

Post by bakerauto »

Would like input on this issue please. Tried Programming a key on a 2013 f-150. After 3 attempts, nothing. Now I have "starting system fault" on dash. Any ideas? Thanks FIXED

It appears you've locked the system. Were you attempting to program one key? Was this an attempt to replace a lost key? Is there any after market alarm or remote starter installed? As a rule two keys are the norm. Anytime I've needed to deal with a lost key issue I've killed that program and set up two new keys. Any more information would help us to help you.

Problem solved. Found key to be faulty (aftermarket). Had a new key made at dealership. Works fine now. Thanks
