2019 Ford Taurus
Verified Locksmith Key Replacement in Ventura County

Q: Do I need to tow my car to the dealer if I have no keys?

No. That is the dealer route, not the only route. Ford's own instructions say losing all coded keys may require having the vehicle towed to the dealer. One Escape owner was already stuck driving a borrowed car while trying to figure out the tow. A former Ford master tech said the dealer will insist you replace two keys and program them, and it will not cost less than $400 plus towing. We bring professional Ford PATS tools to your location and handle the decode, cutting, and programming right at your vehicle.

Q: How long does an all-keys-lost replacement take?

Ford's PATS system enforces a mandatory 10 minute security delay, and all-keys-lost procedures may require one or two of these waits depending on the model. Total on-site time usually runs 30 to 60 minutes once we are connected. A former Ford master tech confirmed that a mobile locksmith can handle this in roughly 40 minutes. Compare that to the dealer route where Ford owners have reported five-day waits for what should have been a simple programming job. We handle Ford AKL same-day in a single visit.

Q: What battery does the 2019 Ford Taurus key fob use?

The 2019 Ford Taurus 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. Pro tip: once you have your new key, pick up a spare battery and keep it in your wallet or glove box. A dead battery is the most common reason Ford owners think they have a key problem.

Q: Can you make a spare at the same time so I have two keys?

Yes, and on Fords we strongly recommend it. After a full PATS erase, the system requires at least two keys to be programmed before the vehicle will start. We always program the minimum two keys during an AKL job, and we can add up to four total keys in the same session. Ford typically allows a maximum of four keys in memory. Getting both keys done in one visit saves you the cost and time of a separate programming session later.

2019 Ford Taurus Smart key Replacement - Fast, Affordable & Professional

BSIS license LCO#6792 means I passed California's background check, maintain active liability insurance, and operate a registered locksmith company. NASTF certification means I have access to the factory security database that provides key codes and immobilizer data unlicensed operators can't get. Google Guaranteed means Google verified my license and insurance independently.

A customer at the pharmacy near Channel Islands National Park Visitor Center told me she'd verified my license number before calling. Her previous locksmith had no license at all. She found that out after the job when his receipt had no company name, no license number, and no phone number that worked a week later. She needed a spare for her 2019 Ford Taurus and wasn't taking chances this time.

NASTF access specifically matters on Ford because it gives me factory security data for the PATS system. When I program a key using my ACDP or any of my tools, the NASTF database provides the original pin codes and immobilizer data that verify my access is authorized. Unlicensed locksmiths without NASTF use workarounds that are less reliable and can leave error codes in the system. Her fob, FCC ID M3N-5WY8609, was programmed through the correct factory data path.

Her spare cost 95. Dealer quoted 200 over the phone. I gave her a real receipt with a real license number, a real phone number, and a real company van with the name on it. She said that alone was worth the call. You can look up LCO#6792 on the BSIS website right now. It's public record.

Lost Your Ford Taurus Key? Here's What to Know

What to expect when we arrive

I lost all my Ford keys. Can you still make a new one?▼

Yes. All-keys-lost is one of the most common calls we get on Ford vehicles. We decode your locks, cut new keys, erase the old keys from the PATS system, and program fresh ones so the lost keys no longer start the car. On most Fords, the system requires at least two keys to be programmed after a full erase before the vehicle will start. We carry extra blanks for exactly this reason. Ford dealers will tell you to tow the car in and buy two OEM fobs. We come to you and handle the entire job on site.
