Question
hi,

i have a 1998 ford taurus se with a transponder chip in the key.  i have both original keys from the dealer.  i need a third key but don't want to pay the high cost for one.  can i tape one of the two key fobs that i own to the steering column and get a regular key cut to start and run my car?

thanks,

Answer
Not suggested.
But if you do, take the 1st key and locate the
reader around the key switch tumbler.

Then get a standard, non transponder key cut
to work in the tumbler.

Now, find the SWEET spot where you can hot glue the
key inplace & that allows the vehicle to start
everytime with the store cut key.

That will do it, but tricky.
Does not always work, but it does take
a bit of finesse to do it.

Go carefully and it should work.

Good luck.
