Title: keys
Post by amigafan2003 on Feb 7^th, 2012, 4:39pm

Ok - so I have lost one set of my keys.

What I have left is one key with a red tag and one remote. The other key (that I lost) also had a red tag. I have never had a solid red key (but I think facelift models never had them). I also have one key that opens the doors/takes the steering lock off but DOESN'T start the car (it doesn't look like it has a chip in it).

What is the simplest and cheapest way of getting a spare key that can start the car - the thought of being stranded due to one more lost key is making me nervous :-[

New technology now means that at last we can now copy red or blue chip Ford keys where there is only one original key or the red master key has been lost,using the Super Chip Transponder key.
The Super Chip FORD car key is £50.00 (including cutting and programming)

Facelifts came with just two black keys usually.

Get some chipped keys cut and program them in yourself.

Programming new keys
The system itself assumes that there are three keys programmed into PATS. One is a red key, the master, and two slave keys, which are black and will have a red dot. The red master key should be locked away in a safe place and only the black keys should be in daily use. If a key is lost, the red master key can be used to program a new key. The following sequence is noted in the vehicle handbook.

1. Obtain new key from main dealer ordered using the vehicle key number.

2. Insert red master key into ignition and turn to position II. When the red LED comes on switch off and remove the master key.

3. The LED goes off and then comes on for 2 seconds. PATS is now in programming mode for the next ten seconds.

4. Insert the new slave key. The LED will come on and go off to confirm that the key has been programmed. Switch off and remove the new key.
