You should be able to get a key at the a ford dealership.

and to help your mileage. get an exhaust done, and e-fans, and a intake.

hmmmmmmmmmm

i have the original key but i'm looking for the key switch with the unlock/lock and panic button. its in the shape of a square.

its the regular standard theft alarm key switch the ford vehicles come with!

This is the guy I purchased mine from back in July or August. Cheap, nicely packed, fast shipping, and came with the instructions to program it yourself. It takes less than a minute to do it after you read the instructions.
