    Ivan is the one guy who is smart enough to both perform the technical diagnostics with all the good equipment and then repair the car for little to no money. It's hard to believe he's only now surpassing 100k subscribers. A hidden gem! Thanks Ivan!

    I've seen a few of these where the linkage from the ignition cylinder to the switch wears out and causes and intermittent no crank, sometimes turning the key hard will pick up the slack and cause it to start. Its possible that when you put your test light in that contact it pushed the switch a certain way so it started every time for you. But this was a good video showing and explaining how to elminate parts of the circuit to trace the problem to the source vs just start checking fuses, unplugging things, throwing parts at it, ect.

    This one is easy . No diagrams needed you were looking rite at the alarm bypass button . The 2 twisted thin brown wires go to a momentary button . Turn key on and press button . Boom 💥 it will start 💯 . . I get these in factory installed ford aftermarket alarms in my shop monthly . They are actually a code alarm product (aftermarket) Installed by the dealer And are controlled by the factory keyless remote . . I’m thinking it was on valet and was turned off . The battery went dead and was re active again . . I always bypass the starter kill on these , or just remove it all together .

      There's a BIG difference between cranking it over and actually starting it.
      In this case, the key was in the ignition and in the 'run' position, so all Ivan had to do was to 'emulate' turning the key one step further to the 'start' position.
      If the correct key was NOT in the ignition, the vehicle anti-theft system _should_ have inhibitted it from actually starting.
      Intriguingly though, the OEM Ford 'remote start' receiver can obviously control ALL aspects (including satisfying any 'anti-theft' conditions), so all the pertinent signal wires MUST be on the loom from this box.

    Hi, Ivan, I have a 2005 Ford Freestar, and I hope you can help with the diagnostic part. I know the video was for the Freestyle, but the names are so similar, UA-cam and Google are having trouble finding me the correct video :(
    At the same time, many things seem quite similar to the video, so maybe I can bounce some things off of you.
    Turn the key to the start position result in a single weak click, nothing more.
    The deal with the 'under the hood' fuse box, where you 'jumper' (old PC lingo) two of the pins under the started relay with a wire, that caused the engine to turn over, but not to spark or have ignition.
    Running the positive line to the correct fuse in the 'pedals' area did nothing. I know the positive line was live because it sparked whenever I touched metal. I didn't have the test light like you have, I just attached some uninsulated baling wire to a jumper cable.
    The OBD fails every time. It just runs through all the possible protocols, then flashes the "link error" really quick, and starts over.
    Given all this, what is the most likely cause of my problem? Or what should I try next?

  • @zx8401ztv

    One thought is to remove the starter relay so you can hold the ignition in the start position without starting the car, then monitor the test light while fondling all the wires to get a flashing test light.

    Probably the green wire's connector not seated looking at those two askew fuses. Probably owner caused if not ignition switch. Kind of flaky factory install of the added module. I have put in remote start and it wants you to remove insulation for an inch poke your wire through and wrap it around then electrical tape a cover. What would work much better is to solder it then shrink tube it.

    Please do not buy any Ford Freestyle crossover, especially this 2006 model with the 3 L V6 engine, the CVT transmission and with AWD. These vehicles are the worst ever in reliability and the electronics always fail on these vehicles. Run away, as quick as you can away from them. You can plan to buy a 2019 Mazda CX-9 AWD crossover with the 2.5 L Skyactiv four-cylinder turbocharged engine and the six-speed automatic transmission with manual-shift capability. They are extremely reliable and they are much larger and a lot safer.
