1998 Ford Explorer Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
A guy over in West Santee called on a Tuesday morning. He used a walker, and getting himself to a dealership wasn't a minor errand -- it was a whole production that required his son, who was out of state that week. His 1998 Explorer was his only real independence, and his one working key had started acting up. He wanted a spare before he was stuck.
I pulled up to his driveway that morning. The Explorer had the original transponder key setup from that era -- a gray-headed key with the chip molded inside the head. I decoded the lock mechanically, cut a new key blade to match, then ran the programming sequence through the OBD port with the security delay built in. You sit there and wait while the system counts down. That part is just part of the job on these.
He stood in the doorway and watched, leaning on his walker. When I handed him the finished spare he turned it over in his hand a few times like he was checking the cut. Old habit, I think.
He didn't have to arrange a ride, wait for a dealer appointment, or wonder if they had the blank in stock. The whole thing happened in his driveway, on his schedule, while he drank his coffee. That's the part of this work that doesn't show up in any spec sheet.
