My key was recently stolen, and I bought a used ignition switch that included a key and immobilizer, how can I program the key without going to Ford?

Hello,

A new key or fob can be programmed, if you have an existing key/fob that works properly.
If you do not have any key or fob. Then the programming needs to be done by a dealer or a qualified locksmith. As it will need a special tool.

Here is a helpful guide:

I have also attached the programming steps below.

If this method fails, you will likely have to make the trip to the dealer.

Let me know if you have any questions.
Thank you.
