Lost my key tonite to my car and cant find it to save my life. How do I go about on getting a new key? Do I have to go to the Ford dealer and get one?

A lock smith can cut a new blank for you, (you can find em' on E-Bay), but I'm pretty sure you'll have to go to Ford to get the chip inside the key "programed " for your car unless you have a spare. Don't quote me on that.

How much will it cost for Ford to cut me a new key? Do I show them my VIN number?

They will probably require you to show them your registration or title. It should cost around $30-$40.

You will have to show proof of ownership- registration+drivers liecence, and you will have to have your car there. key 30-40$$ plus programming which they will charge 1/2 hour labor, oh yeah the kicker is you have to have two keys. I worked ford parts for about 3 yrs

I know I was going to install a Run/Start program on my car where I pushed a button on my key chain and it would crank up. The PATS device in the car required me to have the chip inside the key close to the ignition. I asked Ford how much one was and he told me about $89-99. So in getting a new key with a chip I would imagine would cost that much. TruBlue is probably correct though if he worked parts for them.

the dealer i work at charges $77.95 to make a new key, cutting it and programming

cant use a key that a lock smith will make, will not work with out the chip inside

that is pretty cheap, i asked my local dealer about having a 3rd key made, they gay me a figure of over a $100
