SAVE MONEY and replace the Ignition Lock Cylinder in your Ford vehicle yourself and ELIMINATE the need to use or reprogram the Transponder Chip Key. This is an easy DIY hack that anyone can do, as I demonstrate on my 2003 Ford F150 Truck.

    I live in a remote Central American village. Dealers and locksmiths aren’t an option. I’m terrified of losing the only key in the country that will start my truck. I can get a non chip key made. If I do this I could have a couple of back up keys. This is very helpful, thanks.

    I just changed out my ignition switch and decided to just have 2 keys instead of changing the door locks... it's funny that u said the same thing that I did..."I'll just have 2 keys like the old days!! Lol.. great video!

    Great comment and instructions… definitely a dollar saved is a dollar earned… thanks for the info…

    Thanks for the tip. My old Ford is back in action. (If i hold the old transponder key in just the right position while turning the new key it starts and runs great) I think I will next reconfigure the tumblers in the lock cylinder so I can use the old key in the new lock set. Your video was very helpful and got me thinking. I'm going to be looking through your video's for more helpful tips.

    another option is motocraft's keyable ingnition cylinders. they are more expensive than the doorman option, but cheaper than getting keys programed. it's a good option if you want your doors and ignition keyed alike.

    Thank you. I'm about to do the same on my 2003 Mazda B2300 pickup.

    Yea knew I wished my 2000 F-250 Lariat had a PATS system cuz it's the most stolen truck out here in the west! But I do have 2 sticks that confuse even my freinds, 5 speed with manual 4X4 :) Plus a fuel pump kill switch thst I always use!

    Great job! I'm searching how to do this with my Mercedes Metris work van. Bought it used but only came with one key fob. The MB dealers nearby cannot re-key a new fob. Closest one they told me is in DC and I'm near Pittsburgh.

    A regular key will work on the doors, the chip is only for the ignition. And u r both a genius and a moran for defeating the anti theft mechanism.😂
