2002 Ford Taurus Transponder Key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

A woman in the East End called me on a Tuesday morning. She had one key left for her 2002 Taurus, and it had started acting up. The car would crank, catch for a second, then die. Classic sign the immobilizer isn't handshaking with the transponder the way it should. She figured it was a dealer job.

I drove out and met her at her place off Ojai Avenue. The car was sitting in the driveway, which is exactly where I like to work.

I pulled up the transponder data through the OBD port, got a read on what the system was expecting, and cut a new key to her vehicle. Then I went through the programming sequence to register the chip. The whole thing took about thirty-five minutes. She watched most of it from the porch.

When I turned the key and the car idled cleanly without stalling, she said she'd expected to be without it for at least three days. The dealer had quoted her a wait just to get an appointment, and then parts on top of that.

The car never left her driveway.
