I have a 1999 Ford Exploere Limited, Lost the only key I had for it, every way I have heard to fix this sounds expensive. I saw that I can buy a new transponder key ignition kit that will fit to my vehicle, but I don't know how I would program it to my vehicle, how can I do this?

the old keys or another expedition key can be reprogrammed to your vehicle, the only thing is you would have to change the lock cylinder to match the key or swap the ignition from another expedition with that has the key

insert one key and turn on quickly insert second key and turn on then off and same for the third new key if the third programmed correctly the theft light should be on steady not blinking

SOURCE: how do you test the transponder for an ignition switch

will the key go all the way in the cylinder? the transponder is the black ring thats around the cylinder, has a connector... kinda hard to explain-
