1996 Ford Taurus Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Here's exactly what happens when I replace a 1996 Ford Taurus key. I verify your identity and vehicle ownership. Then I decode the lock and cut the blade so the mechanical side is perfect. From there I connect my IM608 to the OBD port under your dash, access the PATS security module, and run the key learn sequence through the security countdown. After that, I test. Not just "does it start." I test every button, the remote range from 30 feet, the lock and unlock, the trunk or hatch, and remote start if equipped. Then I start the car three times in a row to confirm there's nothing intermittent.
A soccer parent in La Mesa watched me work on her Taurus and said the testing was the part that surprised her. She expected me to hand her the key and leave. Instead I stood at her car for five extra minutes pressing every button, walking away and pressing again, starting the car and shutting it off repeatedly.
Her fob, FCC ID , was a 3-button remote head key. I confirmed every button, tested the range, and did three clean starts. I told her that testing is the part most locksmiths skip, and it's the part that catches problems before they strand you somewhere.
That testing process is the same on every job, and it's included in the $108 I charge. Dealers charge $269 and some skip the thorough testing entirely.

Reviews that back up our credentials
“I lost my Honda Passport key and called EZ Car Keyz. He came out and made a new key in under five minutes. Legendary service.”
“They responded instantly, showed up within an hour, and arrived exactly when they said they would. Made a copy and programmed a fob for my 2014 car with a worn ignition in about 15 minutes. The new key works perfectly and feels like a dealer key.”
“About 15 minutes after calling, he was already at my home. I had lost my original Ford key and he made and programmed a new one on the spot. Very fast, very professional.”
