What are my options?

[Amsoil Guy]

If I had one key for my truck and I lost that set of keys, what are my options other than towing it to a dealer? It's an '04 so it is equipped with PATS. I have the keyless code so I can get in the truck and I looked around and it's not in there. A locksmith can get me in the door but can they make me a key that will start the truck? What other options do I have?

You'll need to get another key programmed. Dealership for sure or Partsource (not sure if you have to have a set to program from) can program keys.
I think you'll need ownership, license etc. to prove who you are and that you're the owner of the vehicle.

Edit-from partsource's website

Dealership says I need 2 keys and wants $250 for 2 keys and programming. Extra for Fobs.

Is it true that I need 2 keys or can I get away with one?

[Blackmare]

I'd check a partsource then and see what they say.

It would appear as tho YOU need 2 keys, would it not?

[Blackmare]

Lol/ Way to kick the guy when he's down Don.

[RedSN]

Am I wrong? Is it not handier to have two sets?
I would get two keys.


...sorry Ryan :D

Yes you do need 2 keys to program if I'm not mistaken. I would check part source to see what they charge for programming. If they're much cheaper, go to Ford dealer and get them to make keys from key code. Then bring to PS for program.

Good luck

Thanks! I was asking if I NEED 2 keys or if they are just trying to screw me.

[Amsoil Guy]

And Partsource would be a great option BUT......

Any other options?

[Blackmare]

Shit.
What do they need to cut/program the keys? There's one not too far from me in Brampton. I could then hit up Milton on my way home to woodstock. I leave at 4.

[Amsoil Guy]

Unfortunately they need the ownership and license to match. Which is a good thing lol

[Blackmare]

Yeah, sucks in this scenario, but a very good policy. Sorry bro, wish I could help out.

[Blackmare]

Maybe worth a call? See if they are cheaper than the dealer?

FWIW....I lost my mustang key 1-2 yrs ago and opted for the dealer to sell me only 1 key.

It was around $100-120 IIRC.

I had the same problem actually. I locked doors but keys were still inside. What I did was to call a locksmith https://emergencylocksmithvancouver.ca/locksmith-locations/locksmith-surrey/ and then in order to avoid such a trouble in the future I ordered new programmed keys from my dealer. I think that it's necessary to have an extra kit.
