1998 Ford Crown Victoria Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Your 1998 Ford Crown Victoria uses a Transponder Key with 3 buttons on the face, a CR2032 battery inside powering the remote, and a high-security HU101 blade that slides into the ignition or sits inside the fob as an emergency backup. There's also a transponder chip in the head that communicates with the car's immobilizer every time you start it.

A customer in Imperial Beach had a Crown Victoria with a cracked key shell. The blade pivot had split and the key was about to fall apart. She went to the dealer and they told her the only option was a brand new key, cut and programmed. $339. What they didn't mention is that the chip and electronics inside were perfectly fine. She just needed a new shell and blade.

I met her at her driveway near Seacoast Ib with replacement shells and my H75 Lishi for her older edge-cut model. Her key's FCC ID was . I swapped the electronics from her cracked shell into a new one, verified the buttons and range, and cut a fresh blade. I showed her the circuit board so she could see the guts were perfectly fine.

She paid about $149 for the full job. Her old cracked key was the only one she had, so having it fixed and a spare made means she's covered going forward.

“My ignition would not turn in La Jolla and I thought I needed a tow. EZ Car Keyz repaired the ignition on the spot and also made a spare key for safety. The technician worked carefully and confidently.”

“Niv showed up, did his thing, and just like that I had two new keys for a fraction of what the dealership quoted. I have zero reservations recommending him to anyone who needs car keys replaced.”

“We had one broken key for our Honda Civic and one working key for our Lexus. Tim came out and cut three remote car keys at a great price. All keys worked perfectly. Professional, courteous, and highly recommended.”
