Default 2002 Ford Explorer will not crank

My 2002 ford explorer will not crank, the battery is good so i figured it was the starter so i changed the starter for a new one. still no crank, so after reading some forums i started looking at the anti theft light, it is flashing fast for maybe 30 seconds and then flashes once and after 2 seconds flashes once again and then after about 5 seconds it repeats the two flashes about 2 seconds apart....i don't have a test light to test the small wire to the starter and will check that tomorrow. Before today the ignition switch was acting up, I would turn it and nothing would happen, turn it off and try again and it would start, sometimes i would have to do that two or three times to get it started. This all has me thinking that the anti theft is activated or the ignition switch is bad any ideas?

If you have a second key that worked at one time, try that second key.
