Any ideas?

I bought a 2004 ford escape that had a 2005 engine and interior ,it came with only one key and I somehow lost it , my escape has been at ford for over 2 weeks now and still can't find out why new keys won't program . Has anyone heard of somthing like this?
Previous owner says all modules are 2005 like the engine and gave me the proper vin but for some reason the abs won't let the keys program the mechanics have been trying anything they can think of and the next step would be replacing the module and I can't really afford that right now...., any ideas ?

Did you try the '04 VIN id for programming?
