You may be able to go to ford with the VIN number and they may be able to get the key codes for it. I do not know this for sure, but its worth a shot.

I would say a new ignition....that's all I really know, if you get a motorcraft ignition you could get a key that looks identical to your old one. But that's probably more money than you want to spend. I would rather just get a key if I could.

I dunno if ford is the same way, but when i lost keys for my grand am, i took my title in to them and they made me a new ignition key

I had the same problem. Local ford dealer told me to call a 1800 number and they were no help. I had a locksmith come out and make me one...it was $40. If your really good then you can buy a blank, stick it in and wiggle it. Then take a file and file where ever you see marks on the blank, this is what a locksmith will do for you.

Oh and I found my keys the next day under a pair of pants in on the floor...
