Have the vehicle towed to your local Ford Dealer for proper repairs!! You can't program keys yourself to a Ford Product unless you have two working keys already! Jim
Very sorry to hear that. Vehicle security systems are designed so it's virtually impossible for the do it yourselfer to repair. The thought process is that if anyone can do it, a car thief can too. You can try your local locksmith. They might be cheaper than the Dealer. But I've heard some horror stories from people who go that route. Good luck to you! Jim
