I Need a New Key
I just recently bought my 04 Expedition. When I purchased the vehicle, they only gave me one key. I need another key and would also like to purchase a third in the future. From what I have read, a second needs to be coded different than any keys past the first and second. Is this true. Is there a way I can program the key or does it have to be taken to a dealership.

They (and you) could program the new key if you had TWO old keys on a 03-05 Expy.
If you (or they) only have ONE old key, someone has to come up with a Ford specific scan tool to do the deed.

This is what I did. The mobile lock smith came to me and made the keys.

I bought a couple of blanks for my old Expedition and never had them cut. I think I am going to go to walmart and have them sell me a programmed cut key and see if he'll cut two more from my blanks.

You are correct. I bought them for my 98 and now intend to use them on my 2000. I'll double check that they use the same blank. I assume I can just have the key cutter look up both years and see if it calls for the same blank.
