Bought A new key cylinder with keys. Can I program the keys myself?
No you can't program the key's yourself ! You could call a mobile lock smith that has the tool to program the keys .
Testimonial: "thank you. Not really what I wanted to hear, but I did expect that answer. At least a lock smith is cheaper then the dealer. Not sure why they charge so much."
Dorman and Motorcraft make tumblers that come with the parts to re-key them so you can use your original key without having to reprogram the system. You might be able to disassemble the ones you have to make it work, but I have only used the ignition tumbler kits so can't tell you for sure.
The locksmith may be able to change the tumblers in the new cylinder so that your original key works with the new cylinder.
Testimonial: "Problem is I lost the original key. If i had that I could just fool the PATS system. Thanks for the answer anyway."
