anyone had to get a replacement key for their car?

Dennis · March 22nd, 2008, 10:32 PM

so i got in my car today after buying me some good ole german import beer and turn the key and it fires and dies i look at the cluster and the fucking theft light is flashing. im thinking what the hell tried couple more times everytime light flash car no run. thankfully i had the wife with the other key and used it fired right up. im guessing this means the coded key i use is fucked caqusing the anti theft to activate. question is how much does it cost to get a replacemtn key from ford made.

I was going to but I didnt want to spend 100 bucks.

Dennis · March 22nd, 2008, 10:35 PM

BWAL · March 22nd, 2008, 10:37 PM

JASonic · March 22nd, 2008, 10:39 PM

Yea, they rape you Dennis. I protect my one key with my life.

Dennis · March 22nd, 2008, 10:40 PM

well crap

JASonic · March 22nd, 2008, 10:42 PM

Can you post how much your dealer charges when you find out. Id like to see if its close to what mine told me. They said it was $105.99. WTF? Where do they come up with this shit?

Dennis · March 22nd, 2008, 10:44 PM

yea i will im gona call monday and find out

I had one made at Wal-Mart Friday. Not all Wal-Marts do it, but this one did and it was $65. Not too bad, but the key is hideous. I'll get a picture for you.

if the battery is dead it will trigger the PATS

RAGEman · March 22nd, 2008, 10:59 PM

Here you go.

RAGEman · March 22nd, 2008, 11:02 PM

My suggestion, buy one off of ebay, take it to Wal-Mart and have it cut and programmed. Here's a link.

oh and $86 bucks up here

dude496 · March 22nd, 2008, 11:17 PM

since you already have a working key, you should be able to program it yourself. Ford dealership charged me $40 for a new key, but i think they gave it to me closer to cost cause they didnt tell me i needed a second key to program the new pcm. Here try this...

i had my keys replaced when i bought the car.......

they charged me 50 dollars to copy the code and 50 dollars per key after that. My adivce is to get 2 or more keys made at the same time, because if u come back a year later and have a key made it'll cost u another 50 to copy the code on the key again........
