The BEM had lost contact with the PCM and thats why I had no crank. I had to have 2 ign keys reprogramed to the BEM then the BEM needed a "Parameter Reset" [handshake to the PCM] The parameter reset can only be done with a proper scan tool of course.
This work was done at the local Ford dealer for total cost of $89.
Many thanks to everyone who assisted with this problem.
Interesting thought:- New ignition key from Ford $143 plus $40 for cutting. After sales key from same locksmith including cutting $90.
Both keys work fine.

Good one Ron...I was pretty confident that would be the problem. You can R & R the battery in these cars with no problems BUT if you are cranking engine and battery craps itself or is almost flat,then the BEM can loose communication with the PCM and hence no crank.
I would have done the job for you only you live a bit far away.
