Good afternoon fellow Rangers, i recently broke my key to my 1995 2.3 ltr ford ranger truck in the ignition cylinder. I replaced ignition key cylinder but now truck does not turn over. there seems to be some aftermarket Bolt security system with a pass key attached to a female thingy below the steering column. The key light would flash when key was removed but now it doesnt flash when inserted. I think is has something to do with turning on the truck. I dont know what this is but in the past when truck wouldnt turn over i would remove key and insert again and it would turn over/on. Any ideas and any info would be greatly appreciated as this is my daily driver and now have to take the bus to work.
I will post pics of Bolt security system and the Key Fob when I return home. Radio and accessories lights all work when I turn key cyclinder on but it just not turn on the truck. I checked fuses and relays and they seem to be ok. One thing i did not do was disconnect negative terminal when i replaced ignition key cylinder. I was also thinking off replacing ignition switch but wanted to test that before i buy a new one and replace.
Thanks for your time and insights.
