I recently had my alternator replaced and now my car will not start. Anti theft light blinks. Will not turn over or fire-fuel pump kicks on and dash lights come on. The battery was unhooked for a week waiting on my mechanic to come back and fix it. Is it possible all I need is the key reprogrammed? At a loss here.

Hello, I am Danny.

Let's try this first. I have attached a tutorial showing how to rest the security system. Scroll down the page to find Mercury.
