The keys are the same.
We need some more info on what you have done.
There are many threads on PATS programming procedures.
Tylus and I have both posted the steps.

I programmed them like the owners manual says & the same way I did with My truck. After searching some more it seems there are A,B,C,D,E chips. The F150 has the C chip & the Sable has the E chip.

Those are not "chip" types. Those are the PATS system types that can be installed in Ford and L-M vehicles.

Each variant may have its own peculiarities as to how it is to be programmed. See chart at http://www.motorcraftservice.com/vdi...ts_job_aid.pdf
