How to program a replacement  FORD PATS key Please keep in mind....  This and other how-to articles are provided for informational purposes only. Perform the procedures at your own risk. FordF150.net is not responsible for any damage that may occur as a result of performing procedures outlined in any article. Please be sure to read and understand the entire article before doing this. These instructions will save you a lot of money. The dealer wants at least $50 just to do this simple procedure..... To start off, I'll explain a bit about what a PATS key is, what it does, and why this might concern you. PATS is an acronym that stands for Passive Anti-Theft System  ford also calls this SecuriLock). It is also called a transponder key. It is a security feature found on most (if not all) new Ford products, and what it does is disable your vehicle's starter unless your specially programmed key is used to start the vehicle. There is a computer chip inside of the key, and without that you will NOT be able to start the vehicle -- even if you have a regular (non-PATS) key with the correct cuts, it will not work.

For convenience, I'm also including a list of other vehicles that these instructions apply: Ford Contour ‘98–up F-150 ‘98-up Ford crown victoria ’97-up Ford Escort 99-up Ford Excursion ‘00-up Ford Expedition ‘98–up Ford Explorer ’98-up Ford Focus ‘00-up Ford Mustang ’96-up ford ranger ’98-up Ford Taurus ’96-up Ford Windstar ’98-up Lincoln Continental ’98-up Lincoln LS ’00-up Lincoln Mark VIII ’98-up Lincoln Navigator ’98-up Lincoln Town Car ’98-up  Mercury Grand Marquis ’97-up Mercury Mountaineer ’98-up Mercury Mystique ’98-up Mercury Sable ’96-up NOTE: These instructions may apply to more or less vehicles than those listed above. -------------------------------------------------------------------------
