Expert: INSTALLSUPPORT - 7/4/2010

Question
I filed a lean on an abandoned 2004 ford ranger for storage fees owed. Of course I do not have the original ignition key, so I replaced the ignition that came with a new key not realizing that the new key has to be recognized by the trucks computer or it will not start due to the built in anti theft system. Is there a way for a honest individual such as myself to bypass the anti theft so my new key will start the truck? Or will I have to take the truck to a dealership and have the new key coded? Thanks

Answer
No sorry, this needs Ford to cut keys to the VIN #.
Even if you could try a bypass, it would still need both keys
to do it.

Sorry about that, contact Ford service dept on Monday.
You can of course try a local locksmith, but likely as
not, you will get better service getting it from Ford
directly.

Have a good 4th!
