1997 Ford Contour Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
Got a call from a woman over in the College Estates area of Oxnard. She had a 1997 Ford Contour sitting in her office parking lot with one key that was so worn the cuts barely grabbed the wafers anymore. She could still start it, but she had to wiggle it every time. She wanted a spare before the original gave up completely.
She had already called a Ford dealer. They told her the key blank had to be ordered, and programming required bringing the car in. She asked about a timeline. They said a few days, maybe a week, depending on parts. Then they started listing out line items: blank, cut, programming labor, shop fee. She stopped writing it down.
I pulled up, grabbed her VIN off the dash, confirmed the PATS I setup and the H72 blank. Cut the key on my machine right there in the lot. Then I used the existing working key to run the two-key PATS procedure through the ignition cycle, ten-minute security light wait per key, to teach the new transponder to the PCM. The whole thing took about 25 minutes while she stayed inside working.
Clean start on the first turn. No theft light, no crank-and-die. She put both keys on separate rings, one for her purse, one for the junk drawer. Smart move.
She kept her car right where it was and paid a fraction of what the dealer wanted for the same result.

Lockout to Five-Star Review
Lost key panic turned to five-star praise
“I had two Subaru key fobs made and Marco provided excellent service. He stayed persistent through multiple part orders to make sure everything was correct. Very thorough, punctual, and great communication throughout.”
“Tim went above and beyond. I struggled all day trying to program a new FOB and nothing worked. Tim helped me patiently, even recommending cheaper options since I was on a tight budget. He eventually came all the way to Ojai late at night and fixed everything.”
“My key fob stopped working while I was at Oxnard Harbor and I thought I was going to need a tow. EZ Car Keyz showed up fast, programmed a new fob, checked everything carefully, and made sure the car was fully functional before leaving.”
