Good morning,

The locksmith is the cheapest and fastest way of getting it done.

If you do not want a lock smith, you need the IDS Ford programming to set the security. Ford makes it difficult to set the system unlike all the other manufacturers.

You will need two keys to perform a "clear all programmed keys" function, which is what I do in these circumstances.
