Key blank or replacement

[TClary]

Can I buy a replacement key that does not have the "fob" on it? Thanks In Advance

[JWWOODY]

YES. WHEN I PICKED UP MY TC NEW I WANTED AN EXTRA KEY WITHOUT THE ELECTRONICS TO KEEP UNDER THE TRUCK IN CASE I GOT LOCKED OUT. THE DEALER HAD TO ORDER IT. HE NEEDED AN ORIGIONAL KEY TO COPY PLUS THE VIN NUMBER. IT TOOK A COUPLE OF DAYS AND COST $50. IT WILL ONLY UNLOCK THE DOORS AND TURN THE IGNITION, BUT IT WILL NOT START THE VEHICLE. THE ELECTRONIC FOB IS NECESSARY TO START THE VEHICLE.

OMG, if a non-chip key is fifty bucks I wonder how much a real replacement key would be. :o

Looking at this again since my evening last was a total PITA. I leave my key in the van and use the old style remote I have on my retractable belt key chain. Went in @ McDonalds, got food, came out ......... frigging remote was FUBAR. Battery good but it's DOA. Had to call my roadside assistance to unlock my door.

Now according to Woody a non-transponder key is $50. EBay has transponder keys for $13.99. Calling locksmiths and Ford dealer today to see if they can cut them. My only other key was 30 miles away locked up in the store...........

See my post of Jan 1 2011 "Determining the Ford Tibbe Key Code"

There will be the rare locksmith that can cut these keys. Dealers have to have Motrcraft USA to cut keys. To the best of my knowledge nobody in Houston cuts these Keys

I did list one outfit that will cut keys in my post
