So I swapped my 99 3.0 for a 98 4.0. The new PCM is a 98. Anyways my old key still works but the theft light flashes for about the first 5 minutes of driving then goes away. I figured a steel key would work now, but when I tried it nothing would happen, no crank or anything. I used my 3.0s wire harness, because the 4.0s harness did the same thing when I tried cranking it (with my chipped key). Did using my 3.0s harness bypass the need to go to ford? Can I save everyone $200 with that trick or did I just get lucky?
