I am going crazy I have 05 f150 new alternator new starter new battery and relay but still won't start unless I use a hand held remote starter switch could it be the ignition switch even if instrument lights come on and the anti theft device goes out when I turn key it has no coded key I turn key and buzzes but no start

Hi Karl,
Not sure what you are telling us,
Your vehicle IS supposed to have a coded key from the info I have.
How about a little more info,
How long have you had this vehicle and were you ever able to start it a key?

What you might consider,
Check with a Certified locksmith or two and get some idea of what they charge to code 2 new keys for you.You can still drive there.

If you have 2 working keys, you can code up to 8 yourself. It sounds like a lot of trouble, but nothing compared to being stuck somewhere with a non working remote.
Then you could invite a towing charge PLUS having the keys coded.
Wouldn't it be great to just put the key in turn it and the engine starts ? Not knowing your circumstances, it might be well worth your while.
