You are problay using the valet key. We had the same problem when we fist got our van. There is another key that work right. Get it.
Start 2001 winstar with no key
If the theft light is on in your 2000 Windstar and the vehicle won't start, it may indicate an issue with the anti-theft system. This can occur if the key is not recognized or if there is a malfunction in the system. Try using a spare key if you have one, as it may reset the system. If the problem persists, you may need to consult a mechanic or the dealership for further diagnosis and repair.
Try getting a boost.....that'll help
where is the tcm in a windstar 2000 located
2002windstar wont start with remote with out key in ignition
The 2000 Ford Windstar does not typically come with a chipped key, as it was produced before the widespread use of transponder keys in many vehicles. Instead, it generally utilizes a standard metal key for ignition. However, some models may have had optional security features, so it's best to check your specific vehicle's key or consult the owner's manual for confirmation.
turn key to on/start,wait until theft light goes out.
where is air flow relay on 2000 ford windstar
The 2000 Saturn LS1 valet key will start the car. It is made to open the driver's side door and start the car.
According to the 2000 Ford Windstar Owner Guide ( 5W-30 )
I have a similar problem. Once in a while I can't turn the key to the start position. I have found that turning the key towards the acccessory position first releases the key cylinder. Apparently this is a quirk of the '99 windstar. Carl
