New key?

[ArkansasMystic]

I have a 96 Mystic Cobra. I would like to get an extra key and keyless entry remote. I was told that there is some form of chip in the key that prevents it being duplicated. What do I have to do (or who to contact) for a new key and remote? Thank you.

You can either take your car & key to a Ford dealer and have them program you a new one, or there's a method for reprogramming a blank key yourself. You would still need to go to the Ford dealer to purchase the blank though.

You do not need to go to Ford to get a blank key. They are very available on ebay and I am sure other places. Just get them cut at any reputable locksmith. I paid less then $10 for mine and you can even get the instructions for reprograming. Total cost for me to get two new keys and have them cut was under $40 including shipping. I am sure you would spend more then that for one blank at Ford. With the 96 you only need one key to program a second or third.

I thought I knew how to program, but maybe not. I have a spare, it works in the door, but in the ignition it will start and immediately die. I thought maybe it just wasnt programmed, but I can't seem to program it. Any help? Thanks.
