I have a 2003 Ford Explorer. I have two keys but only one of them is programmed. To program it, both keys need to be done. Ford wants $50.00 bucks to do it. I woulnd’t mind if it took an hour to do not 5 minutes. Does anyone have a hookup? ---

start the vehicle with the 1st PROGRAMMED key, then within 5 seconds start the vehicle with the 2nd UNPROGRAMMED key. New key should be programmed at that point. simple stuff ---

New key should be programmed at that point. simple stuff i believe that that only works after u have two keys programmed and pats key takes a good 20 mins with ids which is fords computer because u have to gain access into the securtiy system… not sure tho havent done a key at work in a long time ---

I was told that if I put the un-programmed key in the ignition it freezes the truck up for 20 minutes. I guess it has to be programmed with a hand held programmer at Ford. ---
