lost keys

[ashah000]

My friend has a mustang and he lost the keys and did not have any spares. He went to the dealer but they wont do it, they want a keycode from the original dealer the car was bought from. And who knows who that is. Is there any other way he can get a key made. Thanks.

call a locksmith.
or get new locks.

That response from the dealer sounds like BS. You should be able to use the VIN#. I assume its the keys with the microchip. Dealer must have options.
Could install after market alarm tto bypass Ford's system and change ignition lock.

wouldnt you have to get in the car to do so.

Keys for the ignition and door all the same. Getting in the car no problem without keys. Vin # seen thru windshield

Not ALL of them. Some have ignition, starter, and/or fuel shut offs. The dealer should be able to help you if you give them the VIN and proper ID that shows you own the car. If you need a coded key however, you might have to have it towed to them.

that is true, but you are forgetting what an inovative man can do with a screw driver

Ask to speak to the service manager and see if he`d be so kind as to go online to ford`s technical website and depending on the year of your vehicle he could with just the vin get the keycodes online. The only problem after that is if you have a pats system. You`ll need to program the key.

There is no microchip in his key. It is a 1995.

Mines a 94 and as most of you know Ford Ignitions suck! you can most likely can take any Ford key of that year car and start it !!! Unless it's a fairly new ignition I know mine was like that

isnt there a sticker/decal on the rear end of you car with the original dealers name on it, cuz every car ive seen has one, unless its been painted over.
