Car Forum / Ford / Ford Focus / August 200607 Focus key programing
Just got a PATS key, had it cut at Home Depot. It opens the door, works in the ignition tumbler, but wont program to start the car. Tried the manual instructions several times, and never got the "key programed signal". Any sugestions? Jim > Just got a PATS key, had it cut at Home Depot.

The other possibility is that you got a bad PATS key.  SignatureBill R. Remove nospam_ in e-mail address to reply by e-mail > Just got a PATS key, had it cut at Home Depot.

If this is the MkII new focus, then you *cannot* programme keys yourself. Its a dealer only job. Tim.. > Just got a PATS key, had it cut at Home Depot.

They ought to say that you have to complete the whole sequence within 5 seconds. Once I realised this and went through the procedure fast enough it worked first time. Could this be your problem? John The vender of the Strattec key says that key has to be programed by a locksmith, so much for $15, at least I can open the door. I have a Ford key on order now, hope I can program that.

Now I feel more comfortable with 3 working keys.
