2014 Ford Explorer
Key Cut and Programmed Fast in Ventura County

Q: How do I know you are not a scam locksmith?

Scam locksmiths are a real problem for Ford owners especially. One person got locked out and the locksmith opened the car without ever confirming the price, then charged $129 and disappeared behind untraceable phone numbers with no online listing. An F-150 owner searching for a key replacement said all they found on marketplace were scammers trying to get personal info. EZ Car Keyz has over 100,000 followers across YouTube and TikTok where you can watch us do exactly this work on Ford and other vehicles. We give you a firm price on the phone, show up in a marked vehicle, and the price does not change.

Q: Will the replacement key work exactly like the original?

Yes. We program the transponder through the PATS security system, sync the remote lock, unlock, and all other functions specific to your 2014 Ford Explorer smart key. The key is tested on every function before we leave. A Ford tech warned that many aftermarket keys from Amazon only unlock doors but will not start the engine because they operate on the wrong frequency. We stock Ford-correct keys verified for your exact model year so that does not happen.

Q: What battery does the 2014 Ford Explorer key fob use?

The 2014 Ford Explorer uses a CR2032 battery. You can pick one up at most auto parts stores or pharmacies for a few dollars. When we make a replacement key, we always install a fresh battery so you are starting with a full charge. If your Ford is showing key not detected or the fob seems weak, try a fresh name brand battery before assuming the key needs to be replaced. One Explorer owner fixed the issue by simply reseating the battery in the fob.

Q: What happens if something goes wrong after you leave?

Every key we make comes with a warranty covering both the hardware and the programming. If the key stops working, you call us and we take care of it. One Ford owner spent five days waiting at the dealer for a key programming job, paid more than expected, and then had to troubleshoot the issue themselves using a YouTube video. A Ford dealer tech admitted they charge the programming fee even if an aftermarket key fails to program. With us, if there is an issue, we come back out and make it right.

2014 Ford Explorer Smart key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

Her groceries were in the back seat. It was July. The frozen stuff had maybe 30 minutes before it was ruined. Her 2014 Ford Explorer key fob had just stopped working in the hospital parking lot in Simi Valley. She pressed the button and nothing happened. She could see her car 50 feet away with ice cream melting in a bag.

She called the dealer. Earliest availability was tomorrow afternoon. She called me and I was 20 minutes out.

I got the door open and plugged my IM608 into the OBD port. Her smart key uses Ford's newest smart key platform, FCC ID M3N-5WY8609, with a 5-button proximity fob. The old fob's battery was dead and the internal antenna had corroded. I replaced the fob, programmed the new one, and tested every function.

From her phone call to her engine running was 47 minutes at 95. Dealer wanted 200 and a tomorrow-afternoon appointment. Groceries survived. Sometimes the difference between a locksmith and a dealer is just time.

“A+ service at an even better price. Tim was a lifesaver. I lost my original and only key for my Audi and he was willing to come to my location at 8pm the same day. He worked fast, communicated clearly, and made sure everything worked before leaving.”
