2014 Ford escape (non-push button) programs but won't start with oem 3x lock

0 votes
Everything seems to be programmed correclty.  The wireing harness is connected underneigth the steering column in two places, and the cam high and low are hooked up. C1 & D1 are ON in flash link manager.  I got red and blue lights flashing after programming with two oem keys.

I read somewhere on the site that the lights tell a story.  Keeping that in mind, I don't any lights when hitting lock or unlock.  3x lock just locks the car 3 times.

You need to update the unit after doing dcryptor, please re-connect the evo all unit to the computer, using the Flashlink Manager, please access the Dcryptor tab and click on "Update Unit"

 

This is the last step during the dcryptor process.

 

Thank you,

Because I have both original keys I chose the 2 key programming option

Do I still need to go through the dcryptor process when I have both keys?

No, it's one or the other, you do not do both types of programming.

 

dcryptor process is used when the client only has one key with them (compatible key types only) or if the vehicle is locked against new key programming from the factory
Ah I see now.  Thank you!
