Lost keys
My son managed to lose both the main, and the spare keys. I found an old clicker, so we can open the doors, but I need to know where the key codes are so I can give them to my locksmith friend.

I don't know about a key code, but you can take the vin to a dealership and they can get you keys that way.

Proving ownership isn't a problem. I have a friend that made a key for my Honda, and he got the code off one of the key cylinders. I figured he could do the same thing for my Ford, but I don't know where the code is on the Ford. It was on the trunk lock of my Honda.

Maybe I'll try a different dealership.
The locksmith said he has to "decode" the passenger door cylinder because the cylinders aren't marked.

Geez, this is -- or should be -- a simple database issue. Ford should have a database lookup whereby they key in the VIN, and it spits back the keycode. You take that keycode to a locksmith and they cut the key. There are supposedly evem some locksmiths who have access to the keycode databases. Try doing a search on "automotive locksmiths" in your area.
