We recently picked up a 98 Expedition with 92k through a private sale. We got two keys with keyless entry. Keyless entry works fine, although one needs a new button. The question is the keys... they work the ignition, but not the door locks.
Any suggestions? At the sale, we asked about this and they said they never used the keys, just the keyless entry.
My guess is the ignition may have been changed. You have a couple of options. Take the truck to a locksmith and they can either fit a key for the door locks or put in new door locks and have them pin the cylinders to work with the ignition key. Pull the locks yourself and bring them to locksmith and either fit a key or pin to match. Another option, order all new locks and replace as a set.
