I live in a remote Central American village. Dealers and locksmiths aren’t an option. I’m terrified of losing the only key in the country that will start my truck. I can get a non chip key made. If I do this I could have a couple of back up keys. This is very helpful, thanks.
Cool! Thanks for watching the video. What country are you in?
Great comment and instructions… definitely a dollar saved is a dollar earned… thanks for the info…
I just changed out my ignition switch and decided to just have 2 keys instead of changing the door locks... it's funny that u said the same thing that I did..."I'll just have 2 keys like the old days!! Lol.. great video!
Can a transponder key be programmed without an original key
I think that was a awesome idea Awesome video thank you
Thanks for the tip. My old Ford is back in action. (If i hold the old transponder key in just the right position while turning the new key it starts and runs great) I think I will next reconfigure the tumblers in the lock cylinder so I can use the old key in the new lock set. Your video was very helpful and got me thinking. I'm going to be looking through your video's for more helpful tips.
Thank you so much!
Thank you. I'm about to do the same on my 2003 Mazda B2300 pickup.
i got the same problem exactly!!!!! thanks ill try it
Pretty Slick there Buck.
Great idea
That was amazing ty
Good idea.
Thank you sir !!
Brilliant 🔥
Yea knew I wished my 2000 F-250 Lariat had a PATS system cuz it's the most stolen truck out here in the west! But I do have 2 sticks that confuse even my freinds, 5 speed with manual 4X4 :) Plus a fuel pump kill switch thst I always use!
another option is motocraft's keyable ingnition cylinders. they are more expensive than the doorman option, but cheaper than getting keys programed. it's a good option if you want your doors and ignition keyed alike.
Great job! I'm searching how to do this with my Mercedes Metris work van. Bought it used but only came with one key fob. The MB dealers nearby cannot re-key a new fob. Closest one they told me is in DC and I'm near Pittsburgh.
It works, why not? Thanks.
dude you did it like a ptp thumbs up Larry b
A regular key will work on the doors, the chip is only for the ignition. And u r both a genius and a moran for defeating the anti theft mechanism.😂
Moron. You half wit :)
Nice...
I did this to install a remote start
Dam nice vid
Ha! I vote genius. Thanks for your post.
I just changed my lock this am and it wouldnt start now I know why thks
Love the video, love the idea... however, anytime the keys get lost there is no record of a keycode. Decode your new key and write the keycode down near the vin sticker in the door jamb, on the title and maybe in the owners manual. This will save you from having to change the ignition everything the keys get lost.
Hey what do think about it was change & I change the solenoid under the hood against the firewall but SomeXs it start & someXs it doesn’t start,can U give me another solution it could be.. thanks in advance!!
It could be a number of things. For me it was the fuel pump on its way out. I did a video about that here: ua-cam.com/video/3rSUSkrxncI/v-deo.htmlsi=LUqJq1dKNi_I_R__
I've got a 2001 Ford Explorer Sport SUV, and it's gotten difficult to turn the key and start. I think maybe it's the ignition switch down on the column, and I'll start there. But if I have to replace the key switch itself, I'll try this.
Thanks, and good luck!
think my mechanic kinda tried doing that but he didnt get it in right place , so we ordered the right chip key & lets say only 11 days to get it going , hey I was getting good gas mileage though . For what its worth somewhere on the switch is antenna for tranponder , yeah like the round plastic part , built in or something , can't remember . My switch was 25 years old . You did good , with towing , parts , programing alot of money
I appreciate the note! Yeah, my new lock cylinder is still working great....and the truck hasn't been stolen yet!!!
@@Buckwsr Forgot to add the importance of putting that cylinder , RUN position , if you dont about impossible to get out without drilling !
Very smart. I lost my key any suggestions?
Without the key, it's gonna be a bit of a challenge to remove the lock cylinder because you're supposed to turn it to the "run" position to remove the cylinder. Then, you'll need to get one of those dorman lock cylinders that includes the chip key and a dongle to plug into the OBDII port and re-program the computer to the new key. Not sure if that's a great idea, or if you should get some locksmith help on this one.... Good luck.
So technically speaking, if you didn't need a new ignition switch due to mechanical problems, you could have just gotten 2 standard keys cut that turns the switch to all positions, and glue the one good transponder near the reader? Thanks for the idea. We have just one ugly but working chip key. For a really good high mileage car that at best is a $2400 car. Things add up keeping it on the road. If it exceeds a monthly car payment to fix anything, we might part ways. But hope not. Using economy cars their full life is way more environmentally logical than new cars. Secondary parts markets are jobs, too.
I like the way you think! Good luck with the truck!
I just became stranded at the Aldi's parking lot because my 2002 F-150 wouldn't start because of the anti security lock system. It wouldn't reset this time by doing the little trick stated in the owners manual. It worked twice before but not this time.
I was hoping there was a way to disable the system.
I tried both keys and it still wouldn't start. I'm thinking the problem is somewhere in the computer not sensing the key. I'm not going to pay a tow truck 200 bucks to bring it to the dealership either.
Hi, it might also be a faulty crankshaftposition sensor. Regards
I noticed you have some beeping going on after the vehicle is running. Is it five beeps followed by silence, then repeats 4 more times? If so, the most likely culprit is the air bag warning bulb in the dash is burned out.
Yes, Joseph. You're exactly correct about the air bag warning light and the series of 5 beeps every time I start the truck....and every 30 minutes thereafter! It's a nuisance, but I've not gotten around to fix it....yet....
So I had just bought a 02 Taurus se recently and had a nightmare story to go along with it. I hope to try and figure it out soon if any one has suggestions that would be appreciated. So I started the car fine backed it out of its space and then turned it of. I had went to the store with a friend in his car and upon my return to the car I lost the single transponder key! I couldn’t find it and didn’t trust the people who were around that they hadn’t found it and were lying to me just to then steal my car later when I had left. After destroying the ignition lock colander I had found the key! I had cracked the transceiver and am having a hard time getting the flashing theft light to turn off so I can start my vehicle . Help anyone. Is it a matter of getting a new transceiver?
What about when you lose the key to
I'm heading out to replace it now. Problem is, My battery is dead, and no way to recharge or jump it. I'm hoping to see if a neighbor will jump it, because it's a new battery. I hv a feeling this is going to work! I'll let u know. Thank u.
Thanks for the note, and good luck with the truck!
@Buckwsr IT was actually a PT Cruiser Turbo Convertable. And IT WORKED!!!! Got a jump, held the key for now, and after months of no start, I actually replaced the ignition myself (only with your help), jumped it, and it cranked right up!!! Woohoo! Thanks again!
@@juliebrent4547 Great job! You did it yourself and saved a bunch of money! What a great feeling!
Lmao i didn't even know that year had transponder keys thought fords only have them for 08 and up
Nope, my 1999 Ranger has a Chipped Key, and it only came with 1 key when I bought it. Super annoying, I've been getting bids for making a second chipped key, but the lowest I've found so far is $150. I'm going to have to seriously consider going this route!
I say Genius 😂
Of course, you're certainly right on that one!
Can anyone assist me?
Just pass along to the next owner how this is set up! Would be a big problem if it ever quit working not knowing how it was monkey rigged! Good to go for now! Well done!
My wife told me this set up was hokey, and like you, she mentioned it could be an issue if and when I sell the truck. But yes, I would surely mention this to the next owner. For now, however, I have no intention of selling it any time soon. Thanks.
Know, what do you use to open your door to get in?
Yeah, so like I said in the video, you can buy lock cylinders that come with door locks to match and use the same key, but I'm fine with carrying two keys....the original one to unlock the doors, and the new one for the ignition. You know, just like in the old days when GM cars came with two keys, a square headed key for the ignition, and a round headed key for the door locks......
@@Buckwsryep, my 89 Chevy Caprice Classic has the 2 keys and I never found it to be a big deal!
@@MrNiccholas Great car you got there!
@@Buckwsr yes it is! It's super special to me, it was my Great Grandfather's last daily driver. He bought it in 1991 with about 10,000 miles on it and it now has about 125,000 miles. The engine still runs great! No real body or frame damage. It needs a coat of paint and quite a bit of interior restoration, but my plan is to work on that as I have time and money! I just think it's really cool to have my Great Grandfather's last car! Lots of family history, memories, and stories.
I have a 2008 F150 Ford that I lost the fucking key and the anti-theft will not let it start. How do I bypass it without the key I put a new cylinder in it with a new key that doesn’t have the.
Without the key, I think you're going to need the assistance of a locksmith or the Ford dealer, unfortunately.
i see nothing wrong with this
You didn't "outsmart" anything. You put the transponder within reach of the transceiver coil, put a new ignition that is bastardized as it doesn't fit the door locks and made it easy to steal. If you ever have to have a PCM or instrument cluster replaced and don't tell whomever does the job, they will have a hard time figuring out why that can't get the truck running. All you needed to do was to get the new ignition lock recoded to the original key and be done properly.
I know what I did, and I’m content to take the risks you have mentioned. I’m free to do as I like with my own truck, and I have provided an effective DIY work-around for this great old truck of mine. Thanks.
🤦♂️Why didn't you just leave the key on the ring With the transponder in the key, it's all you have to do.. You don't have to hide it. Just hangs it on the key ring..
Yes, in my case that would work since I'm keeping the original key for the door locks. Someone changing out their door locks, as I discussed in the video, might prefer to hide the transponder, and then just carry one key. Thanks.
I think it’s better there now it’s out the way and won’t get broken
Could have intermittent range problems if dangling, so the method here would be more reliable. Just an FYI: Some later chip keys need conductivity to the metal of the key being used, so it wouldn't work on that type of security that came along in later years. If there's no visible transponder chip mold marks / smaller / later molded into casting, this method might not work. Test by getting a non-chip key cut before cutting open your one key. Some keys won't give up that transponder so cleanly, and if you damage it, you're in worse shape than to begin with. But it's a clever solution. As long as your glue work was done very carefully. If that sucker bounces off ... Woe Nelly!
This chip in key is real frustrating to need 2 good keys to add a third. But I'm sure it's stopped millions of stolen cars over the years. I wish I'd made copies back before I lost an original key! It's so simple to make extra good keys when you have 2 good ones to begin with!! And not expensive. I'm guessing a lot of used cars out there on one key was part of the decision to sell when quotes of $500+ to get a set of fully operational keys is realized.
Hard "NOPE" on that one. Wont work, not even when tried by unicorns with rainbows pouring out of their nipples. The transponder has to be less than an inch from the antenna in the ignition ring. For example: on damn near this exact truck, it wont work.
I tried that and it did not work. I wish it had, fore it would have saved me a lot of time.
