We have lost the keys to our 1997 Ford Explorer. The local FORD dealership recommended pulling out the ignition and replacing it as they couldn't make new keys, the VIN # was too old.

Can you advise how much changing out the ignition should cost?

At Ford? 300-400 dollars, with keys and programming.
