Please I just changed out my 2004 Ford Escape ignition switch does this model come with a pats one 1 system or pats two 2system n how to program new key because lost orginal keys

From the 2004 owners manual...

"Replacement keys
If your keys are lost or stolen and you don’t have an extra coded key, you will need to have your vehicle towed to a dealership. The key codes need to be erased from your vehicle and new coded keys will need to be programmed. Replacing coded keys can be very costly. Store an extra programmed key away from the vehicle in a safe place to help prevent any inconveniences. Please visit an authorized dealer to purchase additional spare or replacement keys."

You need two functional administrative keys to program a third otherwise you will need the services of an automotive locksmith technician or have it hauled to a dealer.

DIY Replacement Ignition KeySubject: DIY Replacement Ignition Key Title: What to...

DIY Replacement Ignition KeySubject: DIY Replacement Ignition Key
Title: What to do if you need a replacement ignition key

Overview:

There are times where you may need a replacement key. This can be the cause of a lost key, a key going bad, upgrading from the non all-in-one key to the all-in-one key.

Please keep in mind that if all keys are lost, there is NO WAY to program a new key to you car and a replacement TWICE module will have to be found with a key, either new (costly) or used and be married to the car via the dealer.

Symptoms:

Need a key, key is giving intermittent "bad key" messages and will not start the car, etc.

Experience Level:

Easy

Tools Needed:

Probably none, or a small tool to take the door off of a key via the hole in the side for the all-in-one key.

Time Needed:

Not much.

Parts Needed:

Key Blank from Dealer about $40 This is cut to your car.
Key Top from Dealer about $40 This is the "key guts"
all-in-one guts from Dealer about $90
all-in-one guts from ebay about $30-$60
key door from dealer for all-in-one key about $15

Procedure:

There are a few cases that can be covered

Case 1: Non All-in-one key replaced by non All-In-One key.

Subcase A: Have a non all-in-one key that is going bad

Solution: The dealer will have a replacement top for the key. Get the top, replace the top of the key and have it reprogrammed for the car. Total cost about $40 + $30.

Subcase B: Replace with all-in-one key because they are neato and / or the other key is lost.

Solution: Order the "Key Blank" from dealer and obtain the guts for the all in one key from ebay or the dealer. Have keys programmed by dealer. Total cost about $35 + $30 + guts cost.

Case 2: All-in-one key replaced by All-In-One key.
Subcase A: Have key but is not working.

Solution: Get guts and have it programmed. Cost about $30 + guts cost.

Subcase B: Lost key, need a new key

Solution: Get Key Blank and guts and have it programmed. Cost about
$35 + $30 + guts cost.

Outcome:

Very nice. Replacing the non all-in-one with the all-in-one dramatically increased the range of the remote. over the banana style remote.

Notes:

- Replace the battery in the guts if you get them off of ebay.
- You have to have all keys and remotes to dealer for programming.
- The guts for the non all-in-one key do not have the remote guts
- The guts for the all-in-one key have the security and remote in one
- The key shaft from the ebay all-in-one key can be discarded

I lost the key to my carn dealers wants 1500 $ so I need another option

You don't give any car details so I'm not sure what to advise. The cost is probably in line with most modern cars because all ignition systems have to be recoded to any key change. Only the dealer has these codes.

I lost my 2001 dodge carivan key can i get it replaced?

You can get one cut at the dealer for less than $20 for most vehicles if it is not equipped with a key fob built into the key. It will take about 5 minutes once you get your turn at the dealers parts counter.

Lost keys can the dealer or anyone else cut one. cost

if you had the keys there are several places to get one cut, but as youve lost them only the main dealer would have the right key for that model.

Lost keys need new ones for this make how much do you think it would cost?

cost depends on whether yours had a chip in it.if your ignition key was metal only, the cost not very much.if the end had a plastic peice on it and you could unlock your car with a push button and it had a panic button on it, then about $75.00 from dealer only. you will need to take your vehicle registration and cars vin# and photo i.d. to get a key. i would call the nissan dealer and ask how much and if they have to order it. that happens sometimes.thank you for choosing fixya.com

Lost key

You cannot disable the immobiliser. If it were that easy, any car theif could defeat it by searching the internet. If you dont have any more master keys, you will have to have your local Toyota dealer reseed (reprogram) the immobiliser code, and program new keys for you. It should be about 2 hours labor and cost of keys, but only a dealer can do it. They need to use the Toyota scan tool, and access a Toyota only website with security codes.
