2013 Ford Explorer Smart Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional
A couple near Strathearn Historical Park in Simi Valley called me on a Friday around 9pm. They had come out of a movie and their 2013 Ford Explorer would not start. Dash just said "No Key Detected." They were already looking up tow trucks, figuring the car would sit there until Monday when the dealer opened.
I asked if they had tried holding the fob against the start button. They had not. I talked them through it on the phone, but nothing happened. That told me the internal transponder chip was not coupling either, which pointed past a simple dead battery.
I was about 15 minutes out with everything I needed already in the van. HU101 blanks, CR2032 cells, M3N5WY8609 fob shells, all sitting in labeled drawers behind my seat.
On site, I popped the fob open and found the issue. The CR2032 had leaked just enough to leave a film on the board contacts. The battery tested dead, and the residue was blocking the antenna trace near the transponder coil. Cleaned the contact points, dropped in a fresh CR2032, and reprogrammed the fob through the OBD-II port using my Autel IM608 with the Ford PATS V2 license.
Remote range came back. Push-to-start responded first press. I walked all five buttons, checked lock and unlock range from 30 feet, and tested the liftgate.
They drove home that Friday night. No tow, no waiting for Monday, no dealer markup. The whole thing took maybe 20 minutes.

“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.”
