We disconnected battery cables to clean the post. When we tried to start vehicle, the engine started, but the electronic throttle had no response. We got out the manual, which told us to follow the instructions, which still did not work. We went online to find a solution, Ford's website informed us that we would have to get our keys reprogrammed to the tune of $350. I decided that since this had happened before, and i had $110 towing bill $80 for a new battery $450 repair bill, (Ford dealer told me a module in my security system had to be replaced) that i would try to find another fix. Which i did, because i refuse to spend another small fortune every time my battery dies or is disconnected. i called a local chain repair shop. i was advised that if i had keyless entry to first roll up all power windows, manually lock all doors, wait a few minutes, unlock doors with my keyfob and then try to start car. Much to my amazement, this actually WORKED! my check engine light is now on, but the car is moving and my manual says everything will readjust itself in a short time. makes me wonder if this fix worked the first time when i was charged $450, when i could have done it for $0 and in at least five minutes. i know this fix sounds crazy, but i have witnesses who have seen this take place. two words; SCREW FORD!
