Lost keys to 2000 Grand Marquis Locksmith stumped- please help

I talking with Ford customer service rep now- she told me that they only keep the codes for 10 years. This is really scary am I just going to have a Mercury Grand Marquis paperweight?

Ok well I hate this car now- talked to very unsympathetic service person at the dealership who said will need the keys cut, maybe a NEW ignition. And he has no idea of an estimate. At this point I am beyond livid. Why on a 15 year old car should I have to have it towed to a dealership?

Thanks Jim- the dealership is swamped and I can't even get a service guy on the phone. It was towed there yesterday at 1:30 and 24 hours later no estimate, no car.

When you get it fixed have an extra key made and put it somewhere safe.

yes mlack thing come off my key thry day the ignition will have to be changed

The code is on the car inside the drivers door I think at least it is for the keypad

If the key that the locksmith made turns on acc and unlocks the wheel then take the plastic cover off the stiring collom remove the ignition block from the collom and push the lever pin all the way down it will start
